OCCUPATIONAL ENVIRONMENT DISEASE ASSOCIATION

Motion Text

That this House is concerned to learn that the Association of London Government has advised that it can no longer continue the grant support it has generously provided to the Occupational and Environmental Diseases Association since the 1980s and that this unique service, made available to people suffering from asbestos-related diseases and their families, is now under threat; and calls on the Secretary of State for Health to consider making a grant under Section 64 of the Health Service and Public Health Act 1968 to the organisation to help retain this valuable service in the community.
