Should the NHS Continue to Fund Homeopathy?

"LAWYERS are preparing to start a judicial review of a health board’s decision to end funding of homeopathic services amid fears over the impact on those who use the alternative remedies." LYNDSAY BUCKLAND in Scotland on Sunday, October 27, 2013

 Health Corespondent Lyndsay further suggests in her article Legal bid to save homeopathy on the NHS that "NHS Lothian believes funding homeopathic cures is a waste, although conventional drugs are often extremely expensive."

Thankfully, Scotland on Sunday presented views from experts both for and against having homopathic remedies available on the NHS. Homeopath Jenny Livingstone called this an

"unfair axe on a gentle remedy that works." 

What do you think? Should the NHS continue to fund homeopathy?
