A pensioner claims she contracted a fatal disease during her time working in a care home.
Nora Pheasant from Skelmersdale claims she was exposed to asbestos while working at The Hollies Residential Care Home in Werneth Park, Oldham. The 75-year-old believes she was exposed to asbestos that was used to lag the boiler and pipework in the cellar, which would be disturbed as she moved objects throughout the area.
At one point the asbestos was identified and removed by the council, during which time the residents were temporarily moved out of the home, but Ms Pheasant fears she had already been exposed to the dangerous substance. She is calling on former colleagues for help after being diagnosed with a fatal disease.
