The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has told NHS chiefs in Darlington to end the dispute with a group of female nurses who object to men who identify as women using the women’s changing rooms.
He has told NHS England to urgently resolve the female changing room issues at Darlington Memorial Hospital, so that nurses can return to the female changing rooms without the fear of having to undress in front of a man.
A group of female nurses, backed by the Christian Legal Centre, are taking legal action against the NHS trust that runs the hospital. But the nurses were told they needed to ‘broaden their mindset’ and be more ‘inclusive’.
