More on Aromatherapy in the UK
Scotsman.com News - Opinion - Every penny promotes a healthy cause:
“Paying for these treatments, to help create a sense of well-being for a
vulnerable group of people, was not at the expense of one single operation or
treatment in our hospitals and clinics.
The treatments are being funded by
our long-standing Endowments Fund - a mechanism to invest donations and legacies
to provide non-clinical services and gifts to improve the lives of our patients
and their relatives. They are not being funded from money we receive from the
Scottish Executive. NHS Lothian recognises that huge responsibilities come with
receiving public funding and we relish the challenges of delivering identifiable
improvements to the health of people in the Lothians. “
To follow up on a story I commented on earlier, the government of the UK was not funding aromatherapy with government funding. The aromatherapy services were being funded through donations.
Regardless, it still shows a commitment to aromatherapy by conventional medicine.
