Huge variations in spending on homeopathic treatment across Scotland have been highlighted in new figures.
The statistics showed that while some health boards spend nothing at all on the controversial alternative treatment, others are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds every year.
The Scottish Conservatives said the issue of funding for homeopathic services needed to be resolved once and for all in the interests of equality of access to the therapy.
Homeopathic medicine works by taking substances that in larger amounts would produce the symptoms of an illness and diluting them until only minute doses remain.
