A social worker from Norfolk who contracted swine flu on New Year's Eve has died from health complications at the age of 30.
Alison Beales, of North Walsham, who was diabetic, was taken ill with the virus and died in hospital a few days later from pneumonia.
Colleagues at Norfolk Council paid tribute to an "excellent advocate" for adult service users who had always done her best for clients and colleagues since joining the authority's community care team in August 2006.
Alison was described as friendly, supportive with a lively sense of humour, and people "instantly warmed to her"....
