Asbestos / Mesothelioma Shocking Increase In Cases
Wed 7th Jul 10 - 12:33
A new report shows a shocking increase in deaths from the asbestos related disease mesothelioma in Derby and South Derbyshire. The shocking statistics released show how common deaths due to asbestos related illnesses are with Derby's coroner investigating more than one death a week.
Local MPs and union officials are calling for the government to take urgent action and ensure a fairer compensation system.
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos and is often called the "hidden killer" as it can develop many years after exposure to asbestos.
