§ Ms JowellI met representatives of the Faculty of Homoeopathy on 21 July. Their thoughts on the future of homoeopathy were discussed.
On 23 July, the Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and I also met representatives of various organisations, including nutritional therapy interests, to listen to their views on the intended changes to the legislation controlling vitamin B6 contained in dietary supplements.
I plan to meet the Council for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and other organisations representing alternative and complementary medical practitioners, later in the year.
