Hooray! At last some seriously enlightened thinking by the Department of Health in the shape of LibDem Care Services Minister Paul Burstow. Burstow's basically giving patients the go-ahead to spend their care money however they like, allowing individuals to decide how, where and from whom they receive their healthcare, in partnership with the local NHS.
So you could choose to spend your 'care budget' on your osteopath, accupuncturist, hydrotherapist, herbalist - whatever you think works for you - how good is that?
Well, it sounds like brilliant doctoring to me but wait, what's this? Just down the road at the British Medical Association there's an almighty clamour! Doctors are revolting and have just voted overwhelmingly in favour of removing homeopathic treatments from the NHS.
According to Nursing in Practice and a number of other esteemed journals, the British Medical Association (BMA) conference have just voted against the continuation of homeopathy on the health service and called for the financial support of four UK homeopathic hospitals to be removed.
Are the two by any chance related? I think we should be told! But in the meantime...you decide.
