The Eileen Trust exists to help people who acquired HIV through contaminated whole blood, blood products or tissue transfer received as part of NHS treatment, other than haemophiliacs (queries about haemophiliacs acquiring HIV through contaminated blood should be referred to the MacFarlane Trust - see separate record. Before the Trust can help anyone, individuals need to prove their eligibility to the Department of Health. A lump sum settlement payment from the Government varying from £41,500 to £80,500 is available, according to age and family circumstances. The Eileen Trust also provides advice and information on benefits, housing, health and employment problems, amongst other issues.
