answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>The Infected Blood Inquiry’s terms of reference include the task to “ascertain, as far as practicable, the likely numbers of people who have been infected (directly or indirectly) in consequence of: a) the use of infected blood; and b) the use of infected blood products”.</p><p>To this end, the Inquiry’s Statistical Expert Group has published two reports. The first, published in September 2022, contains estimated numbers of people infected by blood and blood products as well as estimated numbers of those people who subsequently died; however, this excludes those with Hepatitis B and secondary infections. The second supplementary report, published in July 2023, updates the Committee’s estimates of the numbers of people who died because of their infection. Due to its size, a copy of the first report has been placed in the Library. A copy of the second report is attached.</p><p>In July, the Inquiry published a note on interim compensation payments made on behalf of the Government by the four national Infected Blood Support Schemes. The note shows the number of people registered and payments made as of July 2023; however, information on the numbers of eligible people is not available. A copy of the note is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham attachment 1 file name INQY0000456 - Note from Counsel to the Inquiry on Interim Payments made by Devolved Administration Schemes - 21 Jul 2023.pdf title Interim Payments made by Devolved Administration S 2 file name EXPG0000132 - Expert Report to the Infected Blood Inquiry - Statistics (Supplementary) - 01 Jul 2023.pdf title Expert Report to the Infected Blood Inquiry grouped question UIN HL10451 question first answered 16/10/2023 16:58:41 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2022 answer text <p>Ongoing funding of the Infected Blood support scheme payments is a matter for the Department of Health and Social Care.</p><p> </p><p>I recognise how important it is that the views of infected and affected people are reflected in Sir Robert’s study. It is for this reason that infected and affected core participants to the Inquiry, and their Recognised Legal Representatives were consulted not only on the Terms of Reference of the study, but also contributed significantly to Sir Robert’s information gathering process. It is my intention to publish the Study and the Government response, in time for the Inquiry and its core participants to consider them before Sir Robert gives evidence to the Inquiry.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 27/04/2022 10:03:36 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
