<p>The Statistical Expert Group, established by the Infected Blood Inquiry, has provided
valuable insight into the numbers of infections from blood and blood products in the
UK between 1970 and 1991 and subsequent survival rates. However, the requested information
is not available by Parliamentary constituency. There is also considerable uncertainty
over the number of people, especially those affected, who might be eligible under
Sir Brian Langstaff’s recommendations. Therefore I am not able to provide a substantive
response to the Honourable Member’s questions on her constituency. Since October 2022,
the Government has paid over £400 million in interim compensation payments to those
infected or bereaved partners registered with the UK Infected Blood Support Schemes,
totalling over 4000 individuals.<strong> </strong></p>
