Homeopathy is rubbish and shouldn't be available on the NHS !

[lordna]

£ 4 million out of an NHS budget of £106 billion or 0.4% of the total ( estimates ) is more than just a “ homeopathic “ amount – and could be more usefully used.


My advice ( # 11 ) remains unchanged, and is my final word, unless and until evidence convinces me ( and most other doctors ) otherwise.

((4 * 1000,000) /( 106 * 1000,000,000)) * 100 = 0.004% which is definately more" like a homoeopathic amount". Maths is obviously not your strong point Doc.

The above is correct unless you use the British definition of a billion in which case the percentage becomes
((4 * 1000,000)/(106 * 1000,000,000,000)) * 100 = 0.000004% although according to Wiklepedia we have now adopted the american definition.
