Summary
Since 1974, when the RLHH lost its status as a single hospital group and its own board of management, it has suffered in terms of loss of identity, inadequate capital investment and uninterested management. We believe that these trends can be reversed by the formation of an NHS Hospital Trust to govern the hospital. There is a strong public demand for homœopathy and other complementary forms of medicine within the health service. The staff of the hospital are committed to maintaining these services. We believe that if the hospital were seen to be independent there would be very considerable scope for raising funds from charitable sources and from the private sector to finance the redevelopment of the hospital as an active, progressive national and international centre for practice, teaching and research in homœopathy and complementary medicine.
