Press Release
Government action on pleural plaques should ficus on education
WEdnesday, July 9 2008
Commenting on today’s publication of a pleural plaques consultation paper by the Ministry of Justice, Nick Starling, Director of General Insurance and Health at the Association of British Insurers, said,
"The way forward must be through education to reassure and allay the concerns of people with pleural plaques. The insurance industry wants to work with the Government to achieve this. Legislation is not the answer. Pleural plaques are symptomless, do not impact on a person’s health, and do not develop into asbestos-related diseases."
