NHS Fife has said its priority is to ensure its ‘policies and practices protect the rights of our staff and comply fully with equality legislation’ (PA) - (PA Wire)

NHS Fife has been told by the UK’s equality watchdog to “progress corrective actions without delay” regarding single-sex spaces after the health board admitted it failed to carry out an equality impact assessment previously.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) wrote to NHS Fife regarding access to single-sex facilities for staff on February 21, after the employment tribunal brought by nurse Sandie Peggie against the health board adjourned.
