Divert the £4,000,000 spent on Homeopathy to a Mental Health Awareness Campaign.

Petition Details

Every year, the NHS spends around £4 to £5 million on Homeopathy, a remedial pratice which has been repeatedly examined and found to have no long term health benefit other than placebo. This money could find better use as a national mental health awareness campaign to help curtail MH stigmatisation.

Additional Information

A 2010 review into homeopathy found that it was a 'placebo treatment'.

This is an example of a mental health campaign which could be better funded with the extra money available from ceasing to fund homeopathy.
