Unfortunately, the RCP Council, influenced by well known voices opposed to the statutory regulation of herbal practitioners, reversed years of RCP support for herbal statutory regulation. The RCP's volte face characterises statutory regulation as a badge of rank and efficacy. However, the primary function of statutory regulation is to protect the public from bad practice.The economist Milton Friedman famously highlighted the self interest of the medical establishment in limiting entry into medicine.4Friedman M Kuznets S Income from independent professional practice. NBER, New York1945Google Scholar, 5Friedman M Capitalism and freedom. University of Chicago Press, Chicago1962Google Scholar It is fair to ask whether the RCP stance against the statutory regulation of herbalists is another example of this latent tendency. As such it should be ignored by the UK Government, which should introduce this measure without delay.I declare that I have no conflicts of interest.
