A medical fetish site said it has donated its entire stock of disposable scrubs to an NHS hospital.
MedFet UK, which describes itself as “the only online store 100 per cent dedicated to Medical Fetish, Kink and Roleplay,” said in a tweet that it had been contacted by the NHS, who were trying to find protective equipment and clothing.
The site said it sent the scrubs to a hospital in southern England, but did not specify which hospital or how many it sent.
MedFet UK added: “We are not heroes and we don’t deserve any special kudos. We just did the obvious and only right thing to do. The real heroes are the NHS staff at every level who are on the front line of this fight.”
MedFet UK denied claims its donation was “fake news”, saying: “Honestly, we wish it wasn’t true, but it is.”
The site went on to criticise the Government’s handling of the crisis.
The Standard has contacted the NHS for comment.
Healthcare workers have criticised the Government during the coronavirus crisis for the NHS’ lack of personal protective equipment.
A group of nearly 4,000 medics begged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to “protect the lives of the life-savers” in an open letter to the Sunday Times.
But the Government is sending around 200 million items of protective and cleaning equipment to NHS hospitals and facilities, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said last week.
