To ask His Majesty's Government how many individuals who are known to have been infected with contaminated blood have died without having received any compensation payment under the Infected Blood Support Scheme.

The various Infected Blood Support Schemes in the United Kingdom have provided ex gratia support payments rather than compensation. Interim compensation payments were made by the Infected Blood Interim Compensation Payment Scheme administered on behalf of the Government by the administrators of the UK infected blood support schemes (and in Scotland by the Scottish Ministers in conjunction with the administrators of the Scottish Infected Blood Support Scheme).
The information requested concerning support scheme payments is not available.
