275 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health and Children if compensation due to a person with hepatitis B, who died while his claim was being processed, reverts to his widow and children. [25706/00]
I am not aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. The issue is a matter for the persons concerned and their legal advisers. My Department does not operate a general scheme of compensation for persons suffering from infectious disease, such as hepatitis B.
