Blood: Contamination

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many meetings he held with the devolved Administrations on the infected blood (a) inquiry and (b) compensation framework in January 2023.

Answer

The UK Government liaised closely with the Devolved Administrations on the interim compensation paid in October 2022. Sir Brian Langstaff has recommended that there should be a single UK-wide scheme to issue compensation whilst maintaining the existing support schemes. As I said in my December statement, the Government is committed to liaising with the Devolved Administrations on this issue, and we will continue to do so.
