Treatment of the Darlington nurses

That this House notes with deep concern the reported treatment of the Darlington nurses, who raised safeguarding and dignity concerns about being required to share female changing facilities with a biologically male colleague and were allegedly dismissed, sidelined, and later referred to regulators for doing so; commends their courage in pursuing legal action to defend women’s lawful right to single-sex spaces; notes the Royal College of Nursing’s view that the Trust failed to meet its obligations; and calls on the Government to ensure NHS staff are protected when raising legitimate safeguarding concerns and never penalised for defending women’s rights and workplace safety.
