The evidence base for homeopathy is easily sufficient for it to
remain in the NHS. Taking a range of evidence including systematic
reviews, RCTs, outcome studies and trials comparing its effectiveness with
conventional treatments gives homeopathy an evidence profile that matches
or surpasses those of a whole range of interventions currently practised
in the NHS. If homeopathy is to go, then the so-called experts who gave
opposing evidence at this highly unbalanced hearing must, by their own
criteria, have the integrity to raise their hands and admit that there is
a whole raft of other interventions used daily in the NHS that must go
too. http://clinicalevidence.bmj.com/ceweb/about/knowledge.jsp
