Welcome
As the NHS celebrates its 60th anniversary, it should be remembered that the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital has been part of the service since day one. As a centre of excellence in homeopathy and CAM therapies, the RLHH treats patients from all over the country seeking an answer to their health problems. Many have long standing conditions which have not responded to conventional treatment but at the RLHH they find help, understanding and support which enables them to improve their health and regain a worthwhile quality of life. The record of this hospital is second to none and yet its very existence is threatened.
It is clear that there is a small group of medical professionals, untrained in homeopathy, who appear to believe that they know better than the millions who have experienced the benefits of homeopathy and know better than the qualified medical professionals who have trained in homeopathy and now work at the hospital and the patients’ own GP who refers them. In pursuit of their interests, this group which is funded largely by outside commercial interests have twice written to Primary Care Trusts urging them not to use public money to pay for homeopathic treatment.
By this means they are willing to destroy the economy of selected homeopathic hospitals, to deprive NHS patients of their rightful choice of a treatment option that has been part of the NHS since 1948 when it was set up by agreement with the Government of the day, and to agitate against the principle of choice that is clearly stated current Government policy.
Treatment at the hospital is very cost effective to the NHS.
There is an outcry against the resulting cuts in patient referrals and patients are mobilising and forming groups to protest and campaign against the sudden cessation of their treatment.
