A WEST LONDON hospital hired out one of its wards to a porn film company, according to Tory MP Penny Mordaunt.

“When I was director of Kensington and Chelsea Council, I discovered that one of our local hospitals was hiring out one of its wards to use as a film set,” Mordant told the House of Commons yesterday.

“The movie was a pornographic one.”

Mordaunt didn’t name the hospital concerned, nor the film, but said the latter was a “big budget affair” that “generated substantial income for the hospital”.

Her story has since been confirmed by the local health authority.

“This incident occurred some time prior to 2002 under a predecessor organisation’s management and prior to the formation of PCTs,” said a spokesperson for NHS Kensington and Chelsea.

There is no suggestion that the Coalition government plan to extend the hospital porn idea across the country in a bid to raise funds for the cash-strapped NHS.
