An Employment Tribunal Judge described the case of Richard Page as ‘crying out to be heard’ at a preliminary hearing on 12 January.

In August 2016, an NHS panel unanimously decided that it was ‘not in the interests of the health service’ for Mr Page to continue as a non-executive director because of his view that it was in the best interests of a child to be raised by a married mother and father.

Best interests

In response to questions from the Judge, Mr Page’s representative, Pavel Stroilov, confirmed that the NHS discriminated against Mr Page because of his Christian faith and because of his philosophical belief that it is in the best interests of a child to have a married mother and a father.
