Fears have been raised over a private pharmaceutical company that sent out letters claiming it worked directly with doctors ? though local GPs had no contact with them.
Letters were sent to residents across the borough by Pharmacy 2 U, advertising the NHS electronic prescription service that delivers to patients? homes so they do not have to visit a pharmacy.
Andy Ganf, from Eel Pie Island, ordered medicines but queried the system when his drugs did not arrive on time, so spoke to his doctors, Acorn Group Practice, who had no contact with Pharmacy 2 U.
He said: ?The letter is in blue and it said NHS in various places so you don?t question it. ?I think I?m pretty savvy and I didn?t notice.?
