§ Mr. TredinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what provision there is in the curricula of Government-funded medical establishments for the teaching and theory and practice of the schools of natural medicine.
§ Mr. FormanI have been asked to reply.
It is for universities to determine the curriculum for medical education in the light of recommendations frorn the General Medical Council. The GMC is considering changes to its current recommendations. Its intention is that medical students should in future have a range of options from which to choose for part of their course. It will be for institutions to decide their own curricula taking account of the GMC's revised criteria.
