Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many claims for compensation via the Infected Blood Compensation Authority have been paid so far, including how many claims have been paid to (1) people who have been infected but not previously registered with a support scheme, (2) estates of people who were infected but have since died, and (3) affected people.

The delivery of compensation is a matter for the independent Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA).

IBCA publishes updated statistics every fortnight on its website. As of 19 May 2026, a total of 3,272 people have had their compensation paid. This includes:

• 3,198 living infected people registered with an existing support scheme;

• 21 living infected people who have never been compensated;

• 23 people acting on behalf of a deceased infected person;

• 30 affected people.
