Complementary Therapy Debate

So on the news yesterday it was reported that complementary therapy was not seen by the NHS as viable.
Why then has anyone bothered over the last decade to write National Occupational Standards and publish them on the skills for health Governmental website alongside all the nursing criteria?
History always repeats itself. In the 17th century the medical profession was protectionist and caused no amount of trouble to doctors who wanted to allow the lay people the knowledge to help themselves.
Why? Money. And did you know the Learn Direct (another Government intitiative) states that Aromatherapists and Reflexologists can earn about £30k ... arggh I think they forgot the decimal point).
Here we go again, the cycle of life goes on....
Can't wait for the return of the 1960s when the relative freedom in the UK provided for the growth of Aromatherapy. (AT may have been born in France but it developed here).
