This is outrageous and flies in the face of the fundamental principles governing the NHS, including treating our staff with dignity and respect. Clearly alien concepts for certain members of senior managers in NHS Fife
NHS Fife are now admitting they tried to redeploy Nurse Peggie to another hospital Management tries to change the terms and conditions of Nurse Peggie's contract to appease a cross-dressing man Sacking her from the Victoria Hospital and dumping her in another many miles away…
It is idiotic to treat doctors like this. The number of doctors being lost by the U.K. to other countries will only increase even more with these stupid comments. Common sense must prevail to reach a lasting and satisfactory deal with these doctors
Doctors must face significant “financial consequences” from going on strike, the head of the NHS warned as the government aimed to destroy their ability to mount a protracted wave of industrial action thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
Presumably the university doesn’t have the money to renovate it Campbell?
Lived here for two years as a student. Sorry to see it locked up and in such a poor state of repair.
I am very sorry to hear that Jamie has died. He was a good guy and a real expert on rural affairs. A Scottish Tory in the Alex Buchanan Smith tradition. Sincere condolences to his family
Very sad to hear of the death of Jamie McGrigor, a lifelong servant to Scotland and the @ScotTories. One of the class of 1999, an MSP through to 2017, and then councillor for Oban until 2022, he was one of the best. Respected on all sides. He will be greatly missed.
Why?

Why is she on such a huge salary when she doesn’t even appear to know about the workplace laws she’s supposed to be implementing?
After sitting through the excruciating evidence of Ms Bumba last week, a few things occured to me. 1. Why had she never heard of The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. 2. As DEI lead why did she have no idea what the Stonewall Diversity Scheme is. 3. Why…
Was she involved in appointing him? If so, appropriate action should be taken. If not, then she has no case to answer on this specific issue
It gets worse by the minute
Dr Searle considered reporting Sandie Peggie to the police for not wanting to undress in front of a man A reminder - NHS Fife retain @JohnSwinney’s confidence
Sweet Jesus. Just. Stop. DIGGING.
NEW: NHS Fife says it is "surprised and disappointed" by information commissioner @DvdHmltn's remarks tonight. Full story: thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…
The level of incompetence is beyond belief especially given that most of these senior officials are on film star salaries
Woah, @NHSFife can move very fact when they want to. We now have version 3 of their questionable press release in just a couple of hours after badmouthing @SexMattersOrg #SandiePeggie
When is someone in the Scottish government going to take the necessary action to sort out Fife Health Board?
Sandie Peggie legal team anger as NHS Fife seem to link nurse’s supporters to violent threats heraldscotland.com/news/25325704.…
At long last

This is long overdue
In a normal polity the accumulated evidence (written and oral) of gross incompetence revealed by the Peggie Tribunal, plus today's bizarre Board statement would already be sufficient for the adults in the room act by placing NHS Fife in special measures, and removing the Board.
By how much is it going to drive up electricity costs for households and businesses?
👷26,000 direct and indirect jobs supported ⚙️Over 14,000 trained with new skills 🏠35% coming from Britain's most deprived areas @hinkleypointc is a great example of how backing clean energy creates jobs, drives growth and gets Britain building again.
Unfortunately it’s more likely to depress our vote rather than increase it. In terms of achieving independence it looks like Swinney is planning for it to possibly happen in about 100 years from now
Swinney's independence pitch could be key to SNP fortunes bbc.in/44DEA3p
These people aren’t fit to run a whelk stall, never mind a Health Board. A big clear out is badly needed at Fife Health Board
Same old, same old which will have the same old outcome. Utter failure. No new thinking behind this nonsense. Very poor effort which will certainly not excite the masses
It’s not about me Alasdair. It’s about the millions of pensioners who lost their winter fuel payment despite living in poverty. You shouldn’t try to defend the indefensible
Alex: you’re a canny man; do you need and deserve a state funded winter fuel payment?
There was nothing in the manifesto about culling the pensioners winter fuel payment or denying disabled people their benefits. What a total charlatan Starmer is
Sir Keir Starmer says 'we have to deal with people' who repeatedly break the whip He says that every MP was elected on Labour's manifesto Taking a hardline stance as summer recess approaches...
