POLICE have launched an investigation after a hidden camera was discovered in a toilet at a Co. Armagh hospital.
In a statement, the trust that operates the hospital said it was working with police over an allegation about a former member of staff.
The device was found in ceiling tiles of a toilet in the radiography department of Craigavon Area Hospital.
According to Belfast Live, members of the public have access to the toilet as well as staff.
As part of their investigation, the PSNI are looking into historic cases of voyeurism at the hospital, believed to date back to before February 2015.
The hospital is part of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
In a statement, they said: “The Southern Health and Social Care Trust is co-operating fully with a PSNI investigation following an allegation against a member of staff.
“The member of staff is no longer an employee of the Trust.”
Doug Beattie, Ulster Unionist MLA for Upper Bann, described the alleged offence as ‘despicable’.
“This is a place of sanctuary, where by its very nature our most vulnerable people go,” he said.
"For anybody to take advantage of this, if proven by police, is absolutely despicable.”
