Costing just
over £1.3 million a year to maintain, the NWAA covers
all major motorway incidents, and areas that have poor and restricted
road access. On average the NWAA is called out four times a
day, rising up to ten in the summer. Whilst the incidents vary
greatly, there are two over-riding factors for the NWAA’s
presence – either because time is extremely crucial or
where road access is limited.

movements can result, primarily in the facial muscles or (less commonly)

are four malignant types of mesothelioma, and a benign type of mesothelioma,
which is non-cancerous
Symptoms of mesothelioma usually do not appear for 20 to 50 years after
asbestos exposure. When symptoms do appear, it may still be difficult
to diagnose mesothelioma, as the symptoms often mimic other diseases
like asbestosis, as well as typical respiratory illnesses and even the
common cold. The symptoms vary according to the type of mesothelioma.
