A Chilean mayor is to hand out free Viagra pills to older residents.

Mayor Gonzalo Navarette Munoz says he wants to improve their quality of life, reports the BBC.

He will give men aged 60 or over in the working-class Santiago suburb of Lo Prado the chance to get potency pills courtesy of the taxpayer.

He says he was inspired by complaints from older patients about their poor sex lives while working as a doctor.

"This is about giving our elderly population a better quality of life," he told Chile's national press.

Mr Navarette says that within the next few days physicians will start dispensing the drugs at their surgeries and his office will pick up the bill.

He intends to hand out Viagra four times a month to every man who asks for it and passes a medical.

He has already drawn up a list of some 1,500 men who have shown interest. It is estimated the programme will cost around £10,000 in the first year.

Critics have suggested this is just a ploy to get the local politician re-elected.

But Mayor Navarette insists he is performing a valuable social service which, if successful, could be rolled out across Chile.
