Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2022 to Question 22335 on Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, in what format information is available on the number of claims which have been concluded which does not incur the risk that an individual claimant might be identified as a result.
Maggie Throup The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
Weekly information on the number of concluded cases could risk claimants being identified as these numbers are low and when combined with other information which may be in the public domain or reasonably available.
As of 30 June, the NHS Business Services Authority has submitted 105 claims containing full medical records for assessment to Crawford and Company, with 12 claims now fully concluded.
