§ Mr. TredinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Health following the recent review of expenditure, if he will list the reductions in funding for complementary and alternative medicine services by category and amount broken down by(a) homeopathy, (b) acupuncture and (c) therapeutic touch in the East London and The City Health Authority; and if he will make a statement. [45136]
§ Ms JowellThis information is not held centrally in the form requested. East London and The City Health Authority ceased funding complementary medicine with effect from 1 April 1997. This represented some £120,000 in contracts with a number of National Health Service trusts and other providers.
