NHS condemns 'fake poster'published at 16:04 British Summer Time 19 May 2017
A fake poster on social media warning the NHS faces privatisation, which bears the official NHS logo, has been condemned by officials.
The image, featuring a man with a stethoscope around his neck and an official NHS contact number, encourages people to buy health insurance, warning that "from January 2018, the NHS will no longer be a free service".
It sports the official logos of the NHS and Public Health England.
NHS England said "we treat misuse of the NHS logo extremely seriously and we are investigating the origin of this clearly fake poster".
The image was re-posted by Labour Future, a group which has launched an online campaign to "save the NHS".
NHS England said that it had approached Labour Future - which is believed to have no official links to the Labour Party - to ask it to remove the image from their social media profile which they immediately did.
