Homeopathic Hospitals (19 Feb 2008)

David Tredinnick: ...in the morning these days, although a few years ago we were regularly here a lot later. I am pleased to have the opportunity to introduce this important debate about the threat to the homeopathic hospitals. Their very survival may be at stake and I look forward to hearing from the Minister. This debate comes at a time when support for homeopathy is at an all-time high, including in the...

Foundation Hospitals (8 Jan 2003)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...may not sort out the NHS. In other words, throwing money at the problem will not necessarily lead to a solution. In one particular way—it has already been touched on—the proposal for foundation hospitals is unbelievably divisive.

Mr David Tredinnick: ...start where it says, "I shall return to governance". I intended to say that I supported some of the measures, although we shall have to take a radical look at how services are provided in the new hospitals, if they proceed. In particular, I draw hon.

Health and Pensions (14 Nov 2002)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...but who are medical practitioners. Does he not agree that properly regulated herbal therapists, acupuncturists and homeopaths, for example, could ease the burden on doctors tremendously? Are not foundation hospitals a great opportunity for new initiatives in terms of spreading the burden of the delivery of care—initiatives about which we have heard nothing from the Government?

Cancer Networks (6 Nov 2002)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...bringing about well-being. It can give someone who is on their way out an extension of life. I should also like to pay tribute to Lucy Bell and her cancer care team at Charing Cross and Hammersmith hospitals.

Mr David Tredinnick: ...that Professor Michael Pittilo has been appointed to take over the detailed work of preparing herbal medicine for statutory self-regulation.
