answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p /> <p>HSE currently publish estimates of the total cost to the economy of occupational injuries and ill health arising from current working conditions. These totals do not include the costs of long latency diseases, such as occupational cancer, which are due to past working conditions. To address this gap, HSE is currently finalising estimates of the economic costs of occupational cancer in Great Britain. This research will value the impacts to individuals, employers, taxpayers and society as a whole from cases of work-related cancer diagnosed each year, and these estimates will be the first of their kind in the world. HSE will publish the results of this research in summer 2015.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 23/03/2015 17:08:22 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
