Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025

Contribution

On the cost of the scheme, I want to reassure noble Lords, especially as this was raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Finn, that when we announced £11.8 billion in compensation for the infected and affected, that was neither a target nor a limit; it is to ensure that sufficient funds are available. If more money is required, this Government will seek to find the additional funds.
