Written question asked by Caroline Dinenage (Conservative) on Friday, 5 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. It was answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 June 2026 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Infected Blood Compensation Scheme

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the real value of Infected Blood compensation payments that have not yet been paid compared to compensation payments that have already been paid.

Answer

The Government has established a tariff-based compensation scheme, in line with the Inquiry’s recommendations. A tariff-based scheme ensures that applicants have certainty about the total amount of compensation they will receive from the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA), regardless of when their application is processed. Consistently uprating compensation packages annually would not be consistent with this approach.
