Premier hopes to allay cancer fears
The Premier, David Bartlett, is sending staff from the Education Department into Hobart's Hazelwood School to talk to teachers about their health concerns.

The figures were collated by a former staff member who was concerned there could be a possible cancer cluster linked to a nearby transmission tower and substation at the school.
