The inquiry recommended that we change the core route’s severity bandings to recognise the harms caused to infected people by interferon treatment and proposed a new ‘level 2B’ severity banding for those who receive this treatment. We accept that change is necessary, and we will introduce this new severity band to increase people’s injury, financial loss and care awards. In addition, if someone has had multiple rounds of interferon treatment, they will be compensated for each round.
