Infected blood authority can now pay patients, minister says

More than 30,000 people who received NHS treatment between the 1970s and early 1990s were infected with contaminated blood, and contracted viruses.

The Cabinet Office’s paper confirmed the government expects the IBCA to begin making payments to affected persons, including spouses, civil partners and long-term cohabitants of victims signed up for compensation, to begin in 2025.

Regulations set out that patients or their representatives can receive compensation if they satisfy the IBCA they contracted hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis B, or HIV as a result of NHS or armed forces’ infected blood.

If patients received infected blood treatment and a diagnosis of hepatitis C between January 1 1952 and September 1 1991, chronic hepatitis B between January 1 1952 and December 1 1972, or HIV between January 1 1982 and November 1 1985, they “will be eligible for compensation on the basis that treatment during those dates is more likely to have resulted in transmission”.
