Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2024

Contribution

It is extremely worrying not only that payments to “those affected” have been delayed but that those people are invisible in these regulations. This is now the two-tier system that Sir Brian said must not happen. It threatens their well-being and support. They are entitled to urgent interim and full payments but, at the moment under these regulations, the affected do not even exist. I beg to move.
