DEMANDS mounted today for health monitoring of Grenfell survivors and fire crews after research revealed more than a quarter of service responders are suffering long-term health issues.

The University of Central Lancashire analysed data available from 524 of the 628 firefighters who attended the tower block fire in 2017.

Life-changing conditions were reported by 136 of these, including 11 cases of cancer, 64 respiratory diseases, 22 neurological disorders and 66 digestive illnesses.
