STATES OF JERSEY
COMPENSATION FOR MESOTHELIOMA SUFFERERS (P.124/2018): COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 15th November 2018 by the Council of Ministers
STATES GREFFE
2018 P.124 Com.
COMMENTS
The Council strongly supports the amendments to P.124/2018 put forward by the Minister for Social Security. These are designed to support the principles of the proposition itself, while clarifying the scope, timing and funding of a simple but robust scheme which can be operational during the course of 2019.
The use of triennial Regulations will provide support for individuals over the next 3 years, while allowing time for a more detailed review of compensation for a range of industrial diseases, to be undertaken as part of the wider review of the Social Security Scheme. The detailed review will include an examination of the option to provide payments to individuals now living outside Jersey who were previously exposed to asbestos fibres while living in Jersey.
