NHS Fife employment tribunal RECAP: Sandie Peggie questioned again on Dr Beth Upton trans row

Sandie Peggie was questioned on the last day of evidence in the trans changing room employment tribunal.

Tuesday was the final day of witnesses being questioned by the Sandie Peggie v Dr Beth Upton/NHS Fife employment tribunal in Dundee.

We heard from Dr Maggie Currier, an emergency consultant at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, Emma Moore from the campaign group Sex Matters, and from the claimant Ms Peggie herself.

This comes after the hearing heard accusations on Monday that Ms Peggie had been racist and homophobic, and the court was shown jokes the nurse had shared with colleagues mocking the victims of the Pakistani flood. Ms Peggie’s legal team even admitted it was a “thoroughly unpleasant sequence of jokes”.

When Ms Peggie was re-questioned on Tuesday by the tribunal, she defended her actions.

Oral submissions to end the tribunal will now be heard on September 1 and 2.
