“. . . we may well be subject to quite a lot of challenge from the Homeopathic community if published.” Sounds like an invitation to make sure they get a “lot of challenge” from the more sensible subsection of the public then! Reply
Even more scary is the (what must surely be unmoderated?) comments section of the NHS Choices page on Homeopathy: there’s all kinds of pro-homeopathy stuff in there, including claims of efficacy against breast cancer. On the NHS Choices website? I’m absolutely astonished. Reply
The DoH are doing exactly the same with the content about the liverpool care pathway……the coalition budgetted their entire nhs ‘bed days’ savings on getting x people off the nhs books by 2014…hence the ‘choose your 1%’ campaigns and paying pcts to implement the lcp….you should look into it. Most recent manifestation was the abysmal claim that 90 % of palliative care doctors would want to die on the lcp’…turns out there was only a 20% response rate to the survey in the BMJ. however, it was reassessed by a firm called BAZIAN (owned by two former BMJ employees)…and the puffed up version was put on nhs choices as if it PROVED even doctors thought it was a fantastic idea!!!! And the government also use ‘patient opinion’ to stifle all real patient opinions…..and only quote the supportive ones in their ‘end of life care strategy ‘ documents too! Amazing! Reply
