These Regulations expand the infected blood compensation scheme (“the IBCS”) established by the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/872, “the first Regulations”). These Regulations implement new routes for the payment of compensation to victims of the infected blood scandal, and others affected by it. In doing so, these Regulations restate the provision made by the first Regulations, and ensures continuity for applications and compensation payments made under the first Regulations.
