I can't access the full article, but it appears that NHS Fife have admitted that they broke the law, by not having carried out an equality impact assessment, prior to allowing Dr Upton to use the female changing room.

"NHS Fife has launched an urgent equality review into transgender staff accessing single-sex changing rooms, after admitting it broke the law by failing to carry one out previously."

Wow. Finally...

I wonder who will - and who should have - drawn up the EIA?

Could it be the fragrant Isla Bumba?

Can't wait to read it.

Wow.

So after putting Sandy through this for nearly 2 years (from first encountering Upton in the changing room in September '23) and destroying her professional and personal reputation, they admit they acted illegally all along?

Bugger me. Do the have no shame?

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has now ordered the health board to “carry one out immediately”.

The watchdog first wrote to bosses at NHS Fife on February 21 to remind them of their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 around single-sex spaces, including a “duty to assess and review proposed new or revised policies or practices”.

That followed the first two weeks of the Sandie Peggie employment tribunal.

There is more.
