Action Mesothelioma Day 2008 (EDM970)

Action Mesothelioma Day 2008

EDM number 970 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Clapham on 19/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Industrial health and safety.

That this House welcomes Action Mesothelioma Day on 27th February; recognises that the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma kills someone every five hours in the United Kingdom; expresses alarm at the results of a recent survey by the British Lung Foundation that shows worryingly few tradespeople have received training on how to deal with asbestos or are aware that asbestos exposure can cause cancer; supports initiatives by the Health and Safety Executive in partnership with trades unions, trade associations, charities and suppliers to raise awareness amongst tradespeople of the risks from asbestos and to encourage them to find out about the precautions they should be taking; is encouraged by the results of a British Lung Foundation audit of cancer networks in England showing that most have adopted the Mesothelioma Framework; but also recognises that more effort is needed to improve treatment and care for people with mesothelioma by establishing more specialist multi-disciplinary teams.

This motion has been signed by a total of 152 MPs, 5 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
