Mr Thomas-Symonds said the Government has published explainer documents on compensation and the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) intends to publish a “compensation calculator” by the end of March.
Compensation payouts to victims of the infected blood scandal are taking “far, far, far too long”, ministers have been warned.
Labour MP Ian Lavery (Blyth and Ashington) told Mr Thomas-Symonds: “Despite his sterling efforts, and I really mean that, I’ve got to say that this process is taking far, far, far too long.
In his statement, Mr Thomas-Symonds said the Government had laid parliamentary regulations which would allow for payments to be made to those affected by the scandal, as well as those infected.
Labour MP Johanna Baxter (Paisley and Renfrewshire South) said she shares concerns about the “need for speed in ensuring that victims receive the compensation that they so rightly deserve”.
