HC Deb 14 February 1979 vol 962 cc573-4W
Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what centres in England and Wales provide postgraduate courses in homoeopathic medicine for doctors.

Mr. Moyle

The Royal London homeopothic hospital is the only NHS centre known to provide courses in homoeopathic medicine regularly. I understand that courses are also provided occasionally elsewhere.

Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average annual rate of postgraduate training of doctors in homoeopathic medicine.

Mr. Moyle

I regret that I do not have this information.

Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated number of medical practitioners who are qualified to practise homoeopathic medicine.

Mr. Moyle

I have no precise information, but the estimated number is rather less than 150 in England and Wales.
