Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Palmer (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) on Tuesday, 3 July 2007.
Health: Homeopathy
- Question
- Whether the document Homeopathic Services, which was sent to primary care trusts during May 2007, was issued with the knowledge and approval of the Department of Health; and, if not, what authority the document has.
- Answer
-
My Lords, our inquiries, which are continuing, indicate that the document was not issued with either the knowledge or the approval of the Department of Health. Decisions on commissioning or funding treatments are a local matter. NHS providers need to consider the safety, clinical- and cost-effectiveness of treatments, the availability of suitably qualified practitioners and individual patient needs.
