I wonder whether Ian Hampson has read Margaret McCartney's paper carefully. She does not describe the Bill itself as quackery, only that it risks encouraging quackery. Criticism of the Bill is growing, despite appeals to the authority of various `respected clinicians' who helped to draft it. So far, critical organisations include:
Academy of Medical Sciences
Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust
Academy of Medical Royal Colleges
Academy for Healthcare Sciences
Motor Neurone Disease Association
Royal College of Radiologists
The Medical Defence Union
Cancer Research UK
HealthWatch (charity 1003392)
