Motion to Approve the Draft Infected Blood Compensation Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Parliament will vote to approve updated regulations for the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme, which provides payments to people infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. The amendment regulations likely adjust compensation rates, eligibility criteria, or administrative procedures following the public inquiry into one of the worst medical disasters in NHS history.

Around 3,000 people were infected through the NHS blood transfusion service; roughly half have died. This vote determines the final shape of financial redress for survivors and bereaved families. It reflects government commitment to implementing recommendations from the Infected Blood Inquiry and closing a chapter of institutional failure that dominated headlines in 2024.
