Contaminated Blood and Blood Products

"Yes, I will. I will turn to those who are co-infected, but staying on discretionary payments for a moment, I just think that the position was not clear enough. As the trusts were administered separately and not by the Department, I do not think that there was full awareness that …..."

Written Question
Blood: Contamination
Friday 28th October 2016

Asked by: Alistair Burt (Conservative - North East Bedfordshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he plans to announce details of the discretionary support scheme for people affected by contaminated blood.

Answered by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

As part of the wider reforms of the Infected Blood Payment support schemes in England, a new discretionary scheme is in design and will be delivered once a new scheme administrator is established in 2017/18. Details of the discretionary support scheme will be provided at that stage. A new discretionary scheme will replace the existing three discretionary schemes.
