§ Mr. Frank R. Whiteasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report his Department's reasons for refusing compensation which she would consider adequate to Mrs. L. Brock, of 92 Ringley Road West, Radcliffe, an injured blood donor.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe question of compensation for Mrs. Brock is a matter for the North Western regional health authority, which is responsible for the blood transfusion service in the North West. I replied to a letter from the hon. Member on 29 October 1981 about Mrs. Brock's claim, explaining that the regional health authority was prepared to reconsider the compensation position in the light of any further evidence submitted by 189W Mrs. Brock or her legal advisers, but I understand that no further approach has been made to the authority since that time.
