(29 August 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to review the (a) scope, (b) eligibility, (c) criteria and (d) compensation level of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.

Asked by:
Jess Brown-Fuller (Liberal Democrat)

I would like to reiterate my profound sympathies to all those individuals who have experienced harm following vaccination, and to their families.

Ministers continue to consider options for reforming the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS).

In parallel, the Department continues to work with the NHS Business Services Authority, the administrators of the VDPS, to take further steps to improve the scheme, including through processing claims at a faster rate.
