Debate
Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025Contribution
In December last year, the Government engaged with key representatives and organisations in the community on the eligibility criteria for the award, and we are grateful to each stakeholder who provided submissions and feedback. The Government carefully considered all the evidence provided and, as a result, extended the list of eligible centres now named in the regulations. The eligibility criteria for unethical research awards requires someone to show only that they were treated at one of the listed haemophilia centres—so they were a participant in one of Dr Craske’s studies or attended Lord Mayor Treloar College within a specific date range. We hope this means that everyone who should be able to claim this award can do so without needing to track down detailed evidence that in some cases, this number of years on, will be very difficult to find.
