Look, any more smileys from anyone in this thread and I'll start blaming the banks.

NHS money is already going into homeopathy 'treatment', was supposed to have been stopped until Lansley reversed the decision after lobbying from Prince Charles. Hunt isn't likely to change it back, and if he's easily led again by some of these charlatans it could (hopefully not) get worse.

I wonder how much is ****** away on this and similar NHS establishments?
- Bristol Homeopathic Hospital | University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust
.... they should just stick a water fountain in every hospital and call them universal homeopathic health elixirs

Then presumably this place is staffed with some medically qualified Doctors ? If so why are they practising Homeopathy ?

Since we're talking about the reshuffle:

depends whether they are professionals or not

The misses is a doctor (GP) and quite rightly has nothing to do with Homeopathy, but is really into some of the other alternative ones (esp. sticking needles into yourself......... on purpose!!!). Even so would never "recommend" it professionally.

Is quite scary just how seriously even medical people take this nonsense though. Have met a few doctors that actually practice it themselves which I found quite scary. There are always quite a lot of articles about such things in the medical press, and not all of them are "don’t be so stupid"!
