We should not be supporting funding treatments that do not work. We should not be funding them however much its practitioners think it’s real. Believing it to be real does not make it so. We should not be wasting money on additional research when there is quite enough out there already on which to reach a decision.

It is also not a good policy to equivocate in a policy statement just in case we lose some votes from a superstitious few.

And there was I thinking it was just technology our policy was screwed up about.

Perhaps you should look at my post,
A handy list of dimwitted members of parliament.

It is a disgrace that a higher proportion of Lib Dem MPs have signed EDM 908 than any other party apart from Democratic Unionists. Fine allies, there.

Homeopathy is very simple. There is nothing in the pills, They are a fraud and a delusion. Furthermore, nobody is proposing to ban it. All we say is that deception should not be endorsed by the NHS or the MHRA.

If this is Lib Dem policy, it is firmly rooted in the early part of the 19th century. It is an insult not only to science, but to any thinking person. And it is particularly tragic given that the very sensible report was the work, among others, of Phil Willis and Evan Harris.

Never mind about a possible NICE investigation, do the LibDems agree with the above or not?

Not a single tax rise to deal with the structural deficit? I’m not sure that’s sensible. Especially after “savage cuts”.

the measured introduction of treatment with CAMs therapies at primary care level has the potential to reduce expensive secondary referrals and/or long term expensive drug therapy in a range of conditions

Well, of course: if the patient doesn’t survive primary treatment with CAM “therapies”, then there’s no need for anything at all to be spent in the longer term!
