The Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme Regulations 2014

These Regulations establish the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme (“the Scheme”) under section 1 of the Mesothelioma Act 2014 (“the Act”) which provides for the Secretary of State to establish a scheme for the purpose of making payments to eligible people with diffuse mesothelioma and to eligible dependants of those who have died with diffuse mesothelioma.
