Legislative Consent Memorandum (LCM) on the Victims and Prisoners Bill - Annexe A: Written submissions
However, and for the avoidance of doubt, our views extend to the following areas:
a) Accountability: To truly be an arms-length body, the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (“IBCA” or “the scheme”) must be accountable to Parliament, not a Minister or Department.
b) Chair: A High Court judge (or equivalent) must be appointed as the Chair of the IBCA.
c) Support schemes: The four nations’ financial support schemes must be kept separate from IBCA, retaining all their respective devolution features (e.g. self-declaration/assessment in the Scottish scheme) and must be guaranteed “for life”.
d) Conflation: following on from above, support payments must not be conflated with compensation payments and must be explicitly segregated legislatively in the proposed bill.
e) Participation: Infected and affected people must be immediately involved in all stages of establishing the new compensation body.
f) Hepatitis B: chronic HBV victims must be immediately included for interim compensation.
g) Responsibility: All governance, management, structural, operational, organisational development is to be led by the Chair, who must not be hamstrung by pre...

Stage 1 Report on the Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill - Summary of recommendations
The Committee takes a view that, unless the Scottish Government can demonstrate the specific added value provided by those provisions of the Bill on inclusive communication, they should be considered superfluous given the pre-existing reasonable adjustment duty provided by the 2010 Equality Act and should therefore be removed.
