Description:

An NHS trust has paid out £187,000 in damages after an employment tribunal found it harassed seven nurses by requiring them to share a changing room with a transgender woman.

Judges ruled County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust created a "hostile environment" for nurses who objected to Rose Henderson, who was born male and identifies as a woman, using the single-sex changing rooms.

One of the claimants, Bethany Hutchison, said the nurses raised their concerns to protect women but were instead subjected to "pressure and intimidation".
