Fears for homeopathic hospital
Heavily diluted solutions are used in homeopathic remedies
A unique Glasgow hospital is under threat because of budget cuts, according
to doctors.
Greater Glasgow Health Board is considering closing the in-patient wards
at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital as part of savings totalling £58m.
The hospital has been praised as a role model for combining conventional
and alternative medicine within the NHS.
Doctors at the hospital said the move to help fund a modernisation
programme would be a false economy.
The basic principle of homeopathy is that like cures like.
The treatment claims that an ailment can be cured by small quantities of
substances which produce the same symptoms.
Modernisation drive
The Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital's cutting edge design is being used as a
model for the new west of Scotland cancer centre.
It also leads the way in combining conventional medicine with homeopathy,
claiming to be the only homeopathic unit in the UK to have in-patient beds,
where the most complex of cases can be managed.
But Greater Glasgow Health Board said they may have to be closed in order
to fund a large modernisation programme.
Doctors at the hospital believe that for many patients homeopathic
treatments are the only alternative to expensive drugs, repeated GP visits
and emergency admissions.
