Fighting complementary, "bogus" therapies in the UK

Doctors only want the NHS to fund evidence-based therapies. Makes sense to me:

In a letter, reproduced in the Times, they raised concern the NHS is backing “unproven or disproved treatments”, like homeopathy.

One doctor said the NHS was funding “bogus” therapies when patients struggled to get drugs like Herceptin.
