Brown denial over cancer leaflets claim

The Prime Minister said "no personal health information" about any

voter was known to the party.

Literature was not sent out to people based on any knowledge of people's health details, Mr Brown insisted yesterday.

He was speaking as the Tories set up a website urging people to email Health Secretary Andy Burnham calling on him to say sorry for the "scaremongering" tactics, which Tory leader David Cameron has labelled "sick".

Personalised cards were delivered to 250,000 women last month, warning that a Conservative government would scrap a Labour guarantee that all patients with suspected breast cancer would be seen by a specialist within two weeks of GP referral.

A Sunday newspaper reported that some women who received the cards were cancer patients or had previously suffered from the illness.
