Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025Contribution
I will end by talking about the confusion about how people will be selected to be invited to claim. In November last year, the communications advisory panel had “how to select people to be invited to claim” as one of its three agenda items. After that, claimants heard nothing further until it gave the order of which groups would be called. There is still nothing about how people will be selected within those groups. This not only is adding to everyone’s stress but raises some really troubling questions because, as one of the victims tells me, the affected claims die with them.
