Health body faces legal action amid concerns over autism ‘cure’ Charity to challenge decision of PSA to give accreditation to Society of Homeopaths
The high court is to be asked to decide whether the statutory regulation of homeopaths is safe, amid concerns that some of those on an accredited register are offering an anti-vaccine “cure” for children with autism.
The Good Thinking Society, a charity that promotes rational thinking and scepticism in science, argues that anti-vaxxers are effectively being given a government “kite mark” because they are registered by the Society of Homeopaths. It has been given permission for a judicial review of the Professional Standards Authority’s (PSA) decision to re-accredit the Society of Homeopaths as an official regulatory body. It will argue the PSA is failing to protect children. The Guardian
