30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOCIETY OF HOMEOPATHS AND REGULATION

Motion Text

That this House congratulates the Society of Homeopaths on its 30 year anniversary conference at the University of Leicester; welcomes the contribution the Society has made to the development of the homeopathic profession during that time; notes that it is the largest professional body within homeopathy, representing 60 per cent. of registered homeopaths in the United Kingdom and was the first to form a register of members, establish professional standards and institute code of ethics and fitness to practise procedures; observes that the Society has decided to take the first step towards establishing the first independent register and regulatory body for homeopaths; believes that better regulation has helped other professions like osteopathy and chiropractice to become more accessible to the public through the NHS; encourages all organisations representing homeopaths to work with the Society to ensure that the homeopathic field is united in its drive towards better regulation; and calls on the Government to provide all necessary support to the homeopathic profession to achieve its goals.
