Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what psychological support is available for people (a) infected and (b) affected by contaminated blood and blood products in Glenrothes constituency.

Health services in Scotland are the responsibility of the Scottish Government.

Anyone living in Scotland who has been infected or affected by infected blood or blood products has access to specialist psychological support services. There are two such services established by the Scottish Government and managed by NHS Lothian: the Inherited Bleeding Disorders Psychological Support Service, which is available for any patients with a bleeding disorder or their family, and the Scottish Infected Blood Psychological Service. Both services can see patients from across Scotland by means of outreach services, virtually using the NHS Near Me service, or by telephone.
