answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>It is important that the Scheme recognises the immense suffering endured by people whose lives and families have been impacted by infected blood. Affected persons will be eligible for compensation in their own right where their case is linked to that of a person eligible under the compensation scheme. This includes affected partners; children; parents; siblings; and other friends and family members who cared for loved ones with an infection without reward or remuneration. Where a person has multiple family members who have been infected, multiple injury awards will be made to reflect the scale of their loss.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 24/05/2024 12:00:21 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
