The Infected Blood Memorial Committee reported on 3 August 2026 that it had held two community webinars in July to update people on its work and share its thinking on a UK Memorial. The committee presented a proposed location and draft guiding principles and sought continued feedback. It said recordings of the 1 July and 30 July sessions were available, along with a written summary.

The committee, appointed in October 2025 with members representing all transmission routes across the four UK nations, said separate memorials are already established or planned in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It said it agreed the overarching UK Memorial should be in England, and that its working hypothesis was London. It said London had been the most popular site in all forms of feedback, while noting no single location would satisfy everyone.

Five draft principles were proposed, covering truth, justice and reflection; remembrance and recognition; inclusivity and UK-wide accessibility; a living and evolving space; and transparency and stewardship. The committee invited responses to a questionnaire by Monday 10 August. It also noted some people lack online access and welcomed feedback given on their behalf.
