Trans tribunal phone notes were not checked in person
FIFE, SCOTLAND, JUL 26 – An independent IT expert suggested phone notes were edited to mislead the tribunal while NHS Fife did not perform a forensic phone examination, raising concerns about evidence integrity.
- On Christmas Eve 2023, nurse Sandie Peggie was suspended at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy after Dr Beth Upton accused her of bullying, citing concerns over patient care.
- Peggie lodged a claim under the Equality Act 2010, citing alleged breaches including sexual harassment and victimisation, against NHS Fife and Dr Upton.
- Jim Borwick of KJB Computer Forensics reported the altered phone notes appeared to suggest Dr Upton was 'trying to mislead' the tribunal, citing discrepancies in Google Notes dates.
- NHS Fife admitted no in-person phone check was done in May 2025, Peter Donaldson conceded he ‘did not have a technical answer’.
- Next week, the tribunal will continue after NHS Fife said last week its investigation ‘found that there was insufficient evidence’ to support Dr Upton’s allegations.
