On 26th February the Norwich Evening News reported that a former nurse had appealed for help in her compensation battle. Mary Atherton who is 58 was recently diagnosed as suffering from mesothelioma, an asbestos related cancer.
She believes she was exposed to the deadly dust while working at the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, the West Norwich Hospital, the Jenny Lind - now Priscilla Bacon Lodge - and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Her solicitor, David Cass, said asbestos had been used as lagging on pipes in some of those places.As a student nurse she was required to clean the hospital at weekends, and she remembers dusting and wiping down surfaces. She also claimed that there was always building work going on at the hospital during the sixties, when asbestos was widely used.
If you can help Mrs Artherton, call David Cass at Irwin Mitchell solicitors in Sheffield on 0114 2744559.
