Hospital's future is in doubt

GPs shun homeopathy as prescriptions halve 18 Jul 08   By Nigel Praities (Pulse) GP prescriptions for homeopathy have almost halved in two years, placing huge question marks over future provision of the controversial treatment. Figures obtained by Pulse from the Prescriptions Pricing Authority show the number of prescriptions for homeopathic preparations dropped from 83,000 in 2005 to 49,300 in 2007. The drop occurred against the backdrop of an increase in the overall number of prescriptions written in primary care, from 720 million in 2005 to 796 million in 2007. Number of homeopathic preparations prescribed 2005 2006 2007 83,000 62,700 49,300 A Pulse investigation in January revealed PCTs across the country were cutting back on homeopathic services, with a quarter of trusts stopping or reducing funding over the past two years, and a leading homeopathic hospital forced to close. The new figures demonstrate the squeeze on PCT contracts at homoeopathic hospitals is also being reflected in primary care, with the cost of homeopathic prescribing plummeting in line with the number of items, by 46%. The total spend in 2007 was just £321,000 – just 0.006% of the total prescribing budget - compared with £593,000 in 2005. Professor Edzard Ernst, professor of complementary medicine at Peninsula Medical School in Exeter [check] and a vocal critic of homeopathy, said the huge drop in prescribing reflected a shift in attitude within the medical profession. ‘The figures reflect a more critical attitude on homeopathy and a shift towards evidence-based medicine. The trend is bound to increase as the evidence that homeopathic remedies are pure placebos is getting stronger,’ he said. But Dr Tim Robinson, a GP who provides a local homeopathic service in Dorset, said the huge drop reflected an orchestrated ‘hate campaign’ against homeopathy that had been led by Professor Ernst. ‘Patients are not asking for it because of what has been written in the press and this also reflects the disillusionment of medical homeopaths with the system and cuts in funding from PCTs,’ he said. Pulse can also reveal that efforts to provide a formal regulatory framework for homeopathy have stalled. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency revealed only two homeopathic remedies had applied for a licensed medical indication under their National Rules Scheme launched in September 2006. Neither application has been approved. Applications for indications under the National Rules Scheme must be supported by a dossier of data on quality safety and efficacy.   NHS for Sale - Panorama 7th July 2008 This was a very important programme and shows the NHS is being sold out to US companies like United Healthcare, Aetna, etc.  Watch here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/7487267.stm Comments http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/7494892.stm   Statutory regulation of Traditional world medicines in the UK A range of traditional world medicines may become statutorily regulated in the UK.  This would mean that the law would govern the practice of acupuncture, herbal medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and some other traditional medical systems.  http://www.fih.org.uk/what_we_do/regulation/statutory_regulation.html       Homeopathy and Mystical Methods 17th July 2008 Germany now has its first professor for homeopathy at the Berlin Charité, and the savants argue about the consequences of such an enthronement. http://scienceblogs.com/seed/2008/07/the_week_at_scienceblogsde.php

Sex lessons in primary school 'would cut teen pregnancies' The BMA backed a move to ensure such therapies were properly regulated, and to ask the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence to examine homeopathy and recommend whether it should still be funded by the NHS. http://news.scotsman.com/health/Sex-lessons-in-primary-school.4273452.jp

Heart attacks and suicides... yet the dangers were all kept so quiet. So how CAN you trust your medicine?

by Jerome Burne

07th July 2008

'Asking a drug company to review its own product is crazy, but it goes on quite a lot,’ says Andrew Herxheimer, editor of the Drug And Therapeutics Bulletin, and emeritus fellow of the Cochrane Centre (the organisation which gathers and assesses information about drug effectiveness and safety).

‘The problem is that the MHRA has always been far too trusting of drug companies. They almost never look at the raw data from trials when licensing drugs. Instead, they rely on summaries provided by the companies.’
