The leaflets, which adopt NHS branding, say on the front in bold letters ‘A prescription for a stronger NHS’, along with green first aid crosses

Prescription-style leaflets have been handed out in what appear to be areas with marginal seats has been criticised for handing out General Election leaflets that look like NHS prescriptions.

It appears the leaflets have been distributed in constituencies with marginal seats and have been put through the doors of voters whose say could be crucial on December 12. They repeatedly warn of the dangers of a hung parliament, adding: ‘With a majority government, we can continue to grow our economy. And provide more certainty for families and businesses. That means we can invest in public services like the NHS.’Many took to social media to brand the leaflets as ‘misleading’, saying they are not obviously Tory election leaflets, and that they threw them in the bin once they realised.

The NHS leaflets feature cartoons and images of doctors and nurses helping patients, while listing policies from the Tory manifesto and insisting that the best thing for the NHS is to ‘get Brexit done’.
