The fertility watchdog, The HFEA, has been criticised for "playing to the cameras" over an investigation into Britain's leading IVF clinic.The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority coincidentally carried out a raid on two clinics just hours before a Panorama investigation was broadcast. IVF Undercover, which was broadcast on BBC One on Monday night, showed undercover footage from the Assisted Reproductive and Gynaecology Centre (ARGC), run by Mohamed Taranissi who has produced 2,300 babies in seven years.
The programme claimed that he ran an unlicensed clinic from December 2005 for almost a year. And one of the clinics was secretly filmed offering unproven treatment to women, potentially risking health.
