A leading NHS fertility doctor is making money by sending couples abroad to choose the sex of their unborn baby – a procedure that is illegal in Britain.

Gynaecologist Charles Kingsland, clinical director of Britain’s largest NHS fertility unit and a former inspector for the fertility watchdog, refers at least one woman a week to a clinic in Northern Cyprus to be implanted with a selected embryo

Mr Kingsland uses NHS premises and staff to organise for profit a medical procedure that is illegal in Britain.

Couples are paying up to £14,000 for the controversial service – more than four times the cost of standard private fertility treatment.

Mr Kingsland tells patients he must cover up his involvement by claiming to be ‘ignorant’ of their reasons for travelling to Cyprus.
