@dasgezirpe @StatesofJersey Well done Julie! Your reports in the media really helped in raising awareness! June Summers Shaw, the Coutanche family, Dr Minihane & Deputy Alves have done an amazing job and I’m so pleased that The States are going to offer financial help to those affected @BBCJersey

[Rachel Foster @JSY_Rachel]

Today is #WorldLungCancerDay.

Every 30 seconds around the world someone dies of lung cancer, and only 1 in every 10 people with lung cancer are alive 5 years after diagnosis.

That's why we're fighting so lung cancer patients can expect better. https://t.co/It7Tr6yWlf

@chrismedmond HA!!! This doesn’t surprise me one bit!

[Rachel Foster @JSY_Rachel]

It is encouraging that there has recently been increased local coverage highlighting #Mesothelioma awareness, danger of #asbestos, and lack of a States compensation scheme for those affected in Jersey by this devastating industrial disease. https://t.co/RRWS4dywmq
