        href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/mark_prisk/hertford_and_stortford">My
        MP</a> finally replied to my letter where I questioned his signing of the
      <a
        href="http://edmi.parliament.uk/edmi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=33006&SESSION=885">Early
        Day Motion regarding homoeopathic hospitals</a>. Whilst defending
      homoeopathy he said that doctors should be allowed to prescribe
      homoeopatic treatments, which I expect many homoeopaths wouldn't like as
      the homoeopath/patient interaction is pretty much where the cure is.
      Whilst I was still laughing at that, I came across this.
    </p>
    <blockquote><q>All therapies should be considered equally, and decisions on whether or
        not to provide them on the NHS should be evidence-based, as is the case
        with all other conventional medicines and treatments.</q></blockquote>
    <p>
      I'm about to write to him, asking for this evidence.  I haven't seen any,
      and I'm sure the medical profession would like to see it too.
