WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY J.A. HILTON OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th APRIL 2016
Question
"Can the Minister confirm that all cases of asbestos related diseases attributed to asbestos exposure are communicated to her Department?
Can the Minster further confirm how many people have been communicated to the Health and Safety Executive in the last five years as having been diagnosed with pleural plaques, asbestosis and mesothelioma?"
Answer
I can confirm that there is no legal requirement for any cases of asbestos related diseases attributable to asbestos exposure (or any other specific diseases or types of illness) to be reported to the Social Security Department.
The Inspectorate has had one case of mesothelioma reported to it in the past 5 years. There are no other recorded cases of the diseases listed in the question being communicated to the Department within this time period.
