NHS Fife’s chief executive who was in charge during the Sandie Peggie tribunal is to quit her post to take “early retirement”. She has presided over the ongoing high-profile employment tribunal brought by nurse Sandie Peggie against the health board. Ms Peggie was suspended by NHS Fife after she complained about having to share a changing room with trans medic Dr Beth Upton at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. She took up the post as interim chief executive in January 2020 and was formally appointed permanently in September that year. “As I prepare to retire, I remain deeply committed to NHS Fife and confident in the strength and resilience of the organisation.
