Chris Pursues Progress On The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
How much longer will it be before we get an answer from the Government on the review of the vaccine damage payment scheme? It was initiated when my right hon. Friend Esther McVey was in the Cabinet Office about a year ago. When will we get an answer?
Pat McFadden Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care met with colleagues on this issue. We believe the vaccine programme had great benefits for the UK, but there is a compensation scheme in place for cases where that was not the case.
