The UK’s Infected Blood Memorial Committee aims to publish its first report in mid-January 2027 and give people affected by the scandal three weeks from publication to respond. The committee announced the timetable on 12 November.

The report will set out five draft principles for a permanent memorial, proposals for its location and plans for a digital memorial. The committee will seek the community’s views before making formal recommendations to Cabinet Office ministers.

The survey will be available online. People will also be able to request a printed report and paper survey with a prepaid return envelope. The committee says it will issue instructions on requesting the pack before publication.
