The final piece of legislation creating the rules the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme will follow is about to go through Parliament.

We, and many in the community, have concerns that these changes do not go far enough to correct the injustices present within the scheme.

MPs are now going to have a debate on the problems with the Compensation Scheme in the afternoon of 18th June. We’ve been working with MPs to try to secure this debate for months, so we’re really pleased it’s finally happening as it’s a chance to hold the Cabinet Office to account. We urgently need your help to make sure as many MPs attend the debate as possible.

They want to hear from people who have applied to a scheme about their experiences. This sadly isn't a chance to change the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme, but it is a unique opportunity to voice any issues you've had with the scheme to an influential Committee of MPs who can hold the Government accountable.

The survey is open until midnight on 10th June:
