MORE than 100 maternity staff are taking legal action against a hospital trust after being exposed to what they say were “hazardous” levels of nitrous oxide reports the BBC.
The staff, who include midwives and healthcare assistants, all worked at Basildon Hospital in Essex between 2018 and 2023.
Symptoms including fatigue, anxiety, headaches and “brain fog” were reported.
The trust that runs the hospital has said it “should have acted faster to address the issues”.
