Patients who prefer alternative treatments to conventional medicine will now have to go elsewhere

Patients who prefer alternative treatments to conventional medicine will now have to go elsewhere as West Kent PCT withdrew its funding for homeopathy.

The PCT's board has performed a double U-turn and this week voted to cut cash for "routine homeopathic consultations and treatments" for people in the area from April 2009.

It means patients who use the Church Road Homeopathic Hospital will now have to find alternative ways to get their treatments through the NHS.
