| To be fair on NICE, from the same page: "NICE currently does not recommend that homeopathy should be used in the treatment of any health condition" "Some homeopathic remedies may contain substances that are not safe, or that interfere with the action of other medicines" "there is no evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition" "Some people who use homeopathy may see an improvement in their health condition due to a phenomenon known as the placebo effect" I'm not sure what the phrase 'NHS homeopathic hospitals' means. Does it mean more than what is implied by the paragraph following the one you quoted, that some people that work for the NHS also work privately on alternative medicine like homoeopathy. I'd also be interested to know more about the £4m per year. The page on mindfulness has a very different tone [1] to the one on homeopathy.
