What does the Dutch government about mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a leading cause of death in the United Kingdom and statistics are set within the next 10 to 15 years to a peak when the disease has a long incubation period. Under the carpet swept years the problem of the "silent killer" (as the disease became known) has recently been a greater exposure of the population received over the successful conclusion of a process, which the insurers were liable to pay the case centered a victim of development of the disease - the insurer with the company at the time of exposure or the insurer at the time of diagnosis. The trigger event took 'nine weeks in 2008, and by legal experts (lawyers) that the families of victims of mesothelioma as a milestone on the path of lawsuits against former employers for injuries or illnesses would be regarded as a direct result of exposure to asbestos.
The profile of this industrial prevention is further strengthened by the decision, 27 February 2008 to a Mesothelioma Action Day improved. The day was marked by events in the United Kingdom with the aim of raising awareness in the media and the public about the disease. An international conference discussing progress in the treatment of mesothelioma. John Edwards, consultant thoracic surgeon and chairman of the British Mesothelioma Interest Group, said the conference: "The researchers are desperate for funds for life-saving treatments, mesothelioma by far the least of the first studied twenty of cancer in the United Kingdom are developing .. financing for a British National Centre for asbestos-related diseases is a priority. Such an attitude could encourage virtual collaboration and stimulate research into future treatments to extend and generate save lives. "
The government has acknowledged that the unresolved problem of mesothelioma one that is not in the course of time is reduced. Although the use of asbestos as a building material for more than 20 years is prohibited, there are thousands of public buildings - especially schools - in asbestos as part of their primary structures. Although the asbestos is covered with a protective layer to prevent silicon dust pollution in the atmosphere can cause fatal damage of this layer of dust. Who in the ongoing fight against the disease and fear that plumbers, electricians and other maintenance of a risk to workers from exposure when participating on older properties still contain asbestos work.
Unite and other unions, physicians, patients, mesothelioma asbestos support groups and Michael Clapham MP, Chairman of the Subcommittee on All Party asbestos, lead to the proposal for the National Center for asbestos-related diseases. The development group has a broad support base and has the special adviser to Health Minister in Downing Street, the national director for cancer and the Minister of Health with responsibility for cancer. The meeting was seen as a step forward by all parties that the Government seriously the issue of mesothelioma. The campaign calls on the government for funding for a National Centre for asbestos-related diseases, such as the United Kingdom in line with other Western countries is necessary. The Australian government has already $ 6,200,000 to finance a national center for asbestos-related diseases. British patients and support groups are asking the government to match these funds, about 5 to € 10,000,000, a similar center in the United Kingdom there.
If the profile of this occupational disease is increased, is the hope of specialist lawyers families of victims of mesothelioma, that the long battle for compensation that many families will face it easier to ensure that the victims of the compensation they deserve.
