# The Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025, Note: Explanatory note (This note is not part of the Regulations) 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. Part 1 provides for citation, commencement and interpretation, including provision for determining which persons are eligible for compensation under the IBCS. Part 2 continues the IBCS and makes provision concerning the appointment of members to the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (“IBCA”) and concerning the funding of the IBCA. Part 3 makes provision concerning payments to be made from the IBCS to eligible infected persons, including those who are receiving support scheme payments (as defined in regulation 2(1)). Part 4 makes provision concerning payments to be made from the IBCS to eligible affected persons, including those who are receiving support scheme payments. Part 5 makes provision concerning the payment by the IBCA of payments that were previously made under infected blood support schemes. Part 6 makes general procedural provision in relation to applications for compensation payments, including provision about making and determining applications, the making of compensation payments, and reviews and appeals of decisions on applications. Part 7 makes provision about the review of certain aspects of the IBCS, and for the continuation of things done under the first Regulations. A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2025/9780348268843/note (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/draft-infected-blood-compensation-scheme-regulations-2025/note Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
