We met the Inquiry team and the solicitor to the Inquiry Brian Stanton and they too were very welcoming. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible regarding the payments for 2018/19. Kind Regards Lynne Kelly Chair of Haemophilia Wales www.haemophiliawales.org [email protected] Registered Charity No: 1158941 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Northern Ireland payments for Infected Blood Support 2018/19 From: < Redacted – s40 (2) @gov.wales> Date: Fri, April 06, 2018 2:10 pm To: <[email protected]> Dear Lynne Thank you for your emails and attachments re the payments in England/Scotland and NI. I’ve been on leave for the past couple of weeks so am catching up on my mails. We are currently looking at the ex-gratia payment schemes for this financial year and hope to be able to provide advice to the Cab Sec shortly. As soon as we are in this position I will contact you again. How did the meeting go with the Inquiry Chair? I met some of the admin tem before I went on leave, they stressed that they wanted to work with us here in Wales to get the information needed to make the Inquiry meaningful. Kind regards Redacted – s40 (2) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 March 2018 19:05 To: Redacted – s40 (2) (HSS-DPH-Population Healthcare); Redacted – s40 (2) Cc: Julie Morgan Subject: Northern Ireland payments for Infected Blood Support 2018/19 Dear Redacted – s40 (2) Northern Ireland have now announced an up lift in payments for Infected Blood Support 2018-19 in line with England, see attached. The £500 winter fuel payment is in addition to these payments so the annual payment in Northern Ireland and England from April is £18,500 Hep C stage 2, £22,500 HIV, £36,500 HIV and Hep C. Payments in Scotland are more straightforward Hep C stage 2 = £27,000, HIV and Hep C =£37,000 Wales now stands to fall behind on payments compared with the rest of the UK. Please can Welsh Government consider introducing the Scottish scheme to simplify the payment scheme with a simple medical review panel instead of a complex Special Category Mechanism, for those who have Hep C stage 1 but their quality of life is significantly impacted by the virus. Please contact me if you need further information on the above Yours sincerely Lynne Kelly Chair of Haemophilia Wales www.haemophiliawales.org [email protected] Registered Charity No: 1158941 Email 6 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: 08 May 2018 11:18 To: Redacted – s40 (2) (HSS-DPH-Population Healthcare) <@gov.wales> Subject: RE: The Honeycomb Fund Thank you Redacted – s40 (2), is it ok to raise this at the APPG tomorrow? as Redacted – s40 (2) will be there and we know that the Macfarlane Trust are means testing before agreeing to make a grant from the Honeycomb fund. Regards Lynne Kelly Chair of Haemophilia Wales www.haemophiliawales.org [email protected] Registered Charity No: 1158941 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The Honeycomb Fund From: <@gov.wales> Date: Fri, May 04, 2018 11:07 am To: <[email protected]> Cc: <Redacted – s40 (2) @wales.nhs.uk> Dear Lynne As discussed I’ve got in contact with my colleague at the Department of Health who oversees this area of work for England. The following information has been provided: “As the Honeycomb Fund is money that was gifted to Macfarlane – this is not money that we (Department of Health) can ask for accountability on. It is for the Chair and the board to make decisions about what to do with the money. This also applies to the Wilson Fund. “ It would appear therefore that we are unable to query the use of the funding or the guidelines they put in place for applications.
