Woman offered '£200 to be sterilised'

A woman has claimed she was approached near a health centre in Glasgow by three women who offered her £200 if she agreed to be sterilised.

Deborah Wilson said the offer was made as she left Possilpark Health Centre with her nine-year-old son on Friday.

Ms Wilson said the women told her they were from Project Prevention, a US group which pays drug addicts to be voluntarily sterilised.

Police advised anyone approached in a similar way to contact them.

Ms Wilson, a mother-of-two, said she was shaken by the incident.

"As we left the health centre I saw three ladies coming out of a car and they told me there was this new scheme, offering £200," she said.

"Then I saw a bit of paper in her hand and it had drug addicts written on it.

"I'm not a addict. I think I was approached because I was in the Possilpark area - it's a well-known area for drugs - but that's where my doctor is based."
