question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how the infected blood compensation scheme will include people infected with other hepatitis viruses, such as (1) hepatitis B, and (2) hepatitis D.
tabling member printed	Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick
uin	HL4878
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>Those living with a chronic Hepatitis B infection, and those with acute Hepatitis B infections who died from their infection during the acute period, will be eligible under the scheme. More detail can be viewed online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/infected-blood-compensation-scheme-summary/infected-blood-compensation-scheme-summary. The Inquiry’s second interim report sets out that as the Hepatitis D virus does not cause infection in the absence of Hepatitis B, it is not necessary to make Hepatitis D an additional class of infection. Therefore Hepatitis D infections are not separately considered for compensation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 24/05/2024 10:28:38 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

uin	27337
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
