Government response
●UK Government · Accepted · 14 May 2025
In August 2024, we published a summary of the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme. The detail set out on recommendation 1 fulfils the formal obligation to respond to the recommendations made in the Second Interim report. However, as we have outlined, the position on Compensation was not just informed by the Second Interim report, but also parliamentary debate, engagement with the Expert Group and engagement with the community, led by Sir Robert Francis.
