Debate
Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025Contribution
In addition to IBCA ensuring that everyone receives the correct amount of compensation, people who have been impacted will also receive a small additional ex gratia payment. I reassure your Lordships that steps have been taken quickly and the draft 2025 regulations have been reviewed thoroughly to ensure that this error has been properly addressed. Again, I wish to be clear that the Government apologise to those who have been impacted by this error. It is deeply regrettable and has been amended as quickly as possible. Furthermore, I inform Members of the House that a correction has been made to the draft 2025 statutory instrument since it was laid, to amend a minor typographical mistake in the listing.
