Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Julia Drown (Labour), on Monday, 8 February 1999, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 45 members in total.
HEALTH WHICH? REPORT ON SLIMMING CLINICS
That this House notes the report by Health Which ? highlighting the unscrupulous practices of some slimming clinics; is disturbed by the evidence that these clinics put profit before patient care, regularly prescribing inappropriate and often dangerous drugs to patients, some of which are classified as controlled substances; notes that some clinics have failed to provide patients with adequate information about the side-effects of drugs, hence contravening General Medical Council and Royal College of Physicians guidelines on prescribing; and welcomes the investigation being undertaken by the Health Select Committee on the regulation of private health care.
