A nurse who was suspended by NHS Fife after she objected to a transgender doctor using a women's changing room has demanded clarity from her union about whether it raised concerns over single-sex spaces with the health board.
Sandie Peggie's solicitor has written to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland to request its intervention in a "workplace industrial matter".
It follows media reports that the RCN previously wrote to a health trust in England to inform bosses they were breaking the law by failing to provide single-sex changing rooms for staff.
The RCN has been contacted for comment.
Ms Peggie's solicitor Margaret Gribbon said that the union had told County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust that it had to abide by workplace regulations around single-sex spaces.
The letter, seen by BBC Scotland News, said Ms Peggie – who was not given industrial support when her case was raised with NHS Fife last year – was "surprised but nevertheless delighted" by the move south of the border.
