The family of a former Nottingham nurse are seeking legal action
after an inquest linked her death to asbestos exposure while working at a hospital. Lynne Woodward died aged 65 in March last year from a type of mesothelioma, a cancer commonly caused by exposure to asbestos.
Her family said she believed she was exposed to asbestos in the service tunnels and basement areas of the hospital, which she walked through several times a day. The hospital closed in 1992 after its services were transferred to Queen's Medical Centre.Ms Woodward's widower, Kevin Morrell, 69, encouraged others to consider whether they may have been exposed.
"She had ovarian cancer when she was 13 so she lost the ability to have children, but nonetheless she loved other people's children - she had step-children and grandchildren. She loved outdoor life - she was interested in nature and her funeral was based around daffodils which were her favourite."
