Asbestos victims dismayed by pleural plaques delay

The Asbestos Victims Support Groups Forum UK has expressed its dismay at the delay in a decision from Government over pleural plaques. The Forum said: “This further delay, which will cause dismay and distress to asbestos victims, can only be justified if it leads to a return to compensation for pleural plaques sufferers. The government still has an opportunity to agree a just settlement. To do otherwise after hopes have been raised and then dashed so many times would be intolerable.”
