Wales Infected Blood Support Scheme

The Wales Infected Blood Support Scheme (WIBSS) is hosted by NWSSP on behalf of Welsh Government. Established in October 2017, WIBSS aims to provide support to people who have been infected with Hepatitis C and/or HIV following treatment with NHS blood, blood products or tissue in the 1980s and 1990s. WIBSS replaces the previous UK schemes (Eileen Trust, Macfarlane Trust, MFET Ltd, Skipton Fund and Caxton Foundation), for those infected in Wales. 

Anyone currently on the scheme will have received an interim payment on 27th October 2022 of £100,000.
