Debate
Infected Blood Compensation Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
I have some questions about eligibility for the SCM that I will not go through here, but I think the Minister needs to understand that there is a very large group of victims who are extremely concerned about what is going on. Some of them are actually outraged; they feel that this is worse as they are allowed only to make written submissions regarding the SCM and the expert group—the TEG. This seems to really get close to infringing human rights for these victims. I am not expecting the noble Baroness to answer on the detail. The big message I would like the Government to hear is that in the space of one month, in which the Government have been trying to rebuild trust with the victims, things are changing that they are not aware of and not able to get to. Please will the Minister review this with IBCA as a matter of extreme urgency?
