Oral Answers to Questions

Kevin Hollinrake Excerpts

Tuesday 7th July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Kevin Hollinrake (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)]

The five-year forward plan will need to deal with the outstanding issue of the contaminated blood scandal, as a result of which one of my constituents suffered devastating consequences, including having to take the terrible decision to terminate their unborn child. When might we expect a statement and final resolution on this matter?

[Mr Hunt]

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this issue. It was a terrible tragedy—I had constituents who died—and I can confirm that we will be meeting the commitments made by the Prime Minister to bring forward a solution very shortly.
