- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many London primary care trusts and commissioning bodies have contracts with the Royal Homeopathic Hospital; and what advice his Department gives on homeopathic treatments.
[128923]
- Answer
-
The Royal Homeopathic Hospital (now known as the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine) is part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). NHS London has advised that three primary care trust clusters in London currently have contracts with UCLH.
The Department does not maintain a position on any particular complementary or alternative medicine treatments including homeopathy. It is the responsibility of local national health service organisations to make decisions on the commissioning and funding of any healthcare treatments for NHS patients, such as homeopathy, taking account of issues to do with safety, clinical and cost-effectiveness and the availability of suitably qualified/regulated practitioners.
