Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2024

Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2024

Contribution

Finally, I will ask the Minister about the regulations still to come relating to those affected by the infected blood disaster. Having myself been approached by more than one such individual, and having read the Langstaff report, I am left in no doubt of the terrible consequences that this disaster wreaked on them as individuals: partners who could not have children; babies taken into care; children denied siblings; wives and partners enduring years of no social life; all alongside the acute anxiety this long nightmare has caused them.
