Dear Sir or Madam,

Does Dacorum Council spend any of its budget on "alternative
medicine" and related treatments?

Examples of these would include (but not be limited to):

Reflexology, Iridology, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy,
Kinesiology, Naturopathy, etc.

If so, please break down amounts by year, for as much as you have
information.

Are there any plans to spend money on these initiatives?

Yours faithfully,

Ivan S. Cronyn
