A group of Darlington nurses had their dignity "violated" by an NHS trust, a tribunal said today.

Newcastle Employment Tribunal said that "complaints of indirect sex discrimination" against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust "are well founded and succeed" after the nurses were required to share a female-only changing room with a biological male who identifies as a woman.

However, it also said that several other "complaints of harassment" and "victimisation" are "not well founded and are dismissed."
