UK infected blood victims ‘harmed yet further’ by ministers’ response, inquiry warns

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 9 – A report criticizes the UK compensation scheme for excluding some victims and requiring unrealistic proof, with only 460 of over 2,000 claimants paid so far, officials said.

  • Today, Sir Brian Langstaff’s 210-page report criticises the UK’s infected blood compensation scheme and highlights ongoing harm from delays.
  • Earlier this week, the Cabinet Office acknowledged delays and made efforts to unlock administrative barriers, as the report criticized the scheme’s persistent issues and behind-closed-doors decisions.
  • IBCA has asked 2,043 victims to claim, paid 460 totaling £326 million, with over 3,000 deaths and £11.8 billion allocated for compensation.
  • Victims express frustration over delays causing mental and physical harm, with the Haemophilia Society urging faster, fairer compensation to address ongoing suffering.
  • The report urges faster, fairer compensation with proactive claims and prioritisation for the most ill and elderly claimants, aiming to address longstanding injustices.
