Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025

Contribution

For this reason, in addition to the materials published on GOV.UK this month, the Government will publish a simplified explainer document that we hope will help people understand the details of this policy and what it means for them. On Monday, IBCA also published a compensation calculator for the infected core award. This will be extended to include the supplementary award and compensation for affected people soon after this is published. I hope this will be a useful tool for people to better understand the compensation available to them under the scheme. It is clear that the comms need to be so much more accessible, and I am reassured that IBCA recognises this and is seeking to remedy it. I take on board noble Lords’ feedback about the challenge of analysing these regulations as well.
