Recommendation IBI-12c: No Delay to Second Interim Response
From Infected Blood Inquiry Final Report, published 20 May 2024.
Recommendation
This timetable should not interfere with earlier consideration and response to the Recommendations of the Second Interim Report of the Inquiry.
In brief (written by this site)
In May 2025, the UK Government accepted the recommendation, stating that detail set out under recommendation 1 met its formal obligation to respond to the Second Interim Report, alongside its August 2024 summary of the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme (Cabinet Office response, May 2025). It noted that its position on compensation was also informed by parliamentary debate and community engagement led by Sir Robert Francis (Cabinet Office response, May 2025). The record holds no update since the UK Government's response of May 2025 (Cabinet Office response, May 2025).

Government response
In August 2024, we published a summary of the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme. The detail set out on recommendation 1 fulfils the formal obligation to respond to the recommendations made in the Second Interim report. However, as we have outlined, the position on Compensation was not just informed by the Second Interim report, but also parliamentary debate, engagement with the Expert Group and engagement with the community, led by Sir Robert Francis.
