Awfully frail, he hates some of those practising alternative medicine (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
faith healers
'some of those practising alternative medicine' is the definition.
'awfully frail he hates' is the wordplay.
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'frail'+'he'+'hates'='frailhehates'
'frailhehates' with letters rearranged gives 'FAITH HEALERS'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
