Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what funding is being made available to provide compensation for those affected by the Infected Blood Inquiry; and when this funding will be made available.

I thank the honourable Member for her question. I would like to reassure her that I am meeting with colleagues across Whitehall, including Treasury Ministers, to discuss the Infected Blood Inquiry recommendations, and the Government’s response, and will update the House as soon as I can.
