39651 (2026). Mike Davidson to the Minister for ACC: How many, if any, former sawmill workers exposed to pentachlorophenol have died while waiting for the Government to include exposure to it to the list of occupational diseases covered by the Accident Compensation Act?

Hon Scott Simpson: As claims can be lodged for PCP and assessed on a case-by-case basis, and some workers may not have lodged a claim. I am advised that ACC is unable to quantify this figure.
