The decline of homeopathy on the NHS – The Nightingale Collaboration

Even though homeopathy is to some extent tolerated within the NHS and despite there being three homeopathic ‘hospitals’, it is clear that it is in decline. We know that these hospitals have been branching out into other areas and have even been re-branding themselves to move away from their reliance on homeopathy.
But just because it’s been a part of the NHS since 1948 does not mean that homeopathy is endorsed by the NHS or the Government as being an effective treatment.
