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.
