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

tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	27415
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>Accountability to Parliament and to the public is one of the core values of this government. That is why within the Cabinet Office we have taken significant steps to ensure that ministers and civil servants act with integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level. For example, each of 244 major government projects in the Government Major Projects Programme now has a publicly named senior responsible officer accountable for project delivery. Departments and agencies are required to publish in their Annual Reports and Accounts public performance updates against their priority outcomes, ensuring that public scrutiny of departmental delivery is embedded across Whitehall.The accountability of arm’s length bodies has been sharpened up by the public bodies reviews programme and by updating the arm’s length body sponsorship code of good practice.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 24/05/2024 11:34:08 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
