A single battle has been won towards the implementation of “Gayle’s Law” — but the fight for national nurse safety reform is far from over, the husband of murdered nurse Gayle Woodford says. Keith Woodford last week spoke publicly for the first time since the abduction and murder of his 56-year old wife Gayle at Fregon in the APY Lands in March last year. Mr Woodford said he would devote his life to making it law that nurses cannot attend emergency call-outs alone in remote areas. While the State Government last week agreed to introduce such legislation, the Federal Government — which funds the majority of remote health services — would not commit to the measures.
