HL Deb 06 February 1995 vol 561 cc3-4WA
Lord Stallard

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to review the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960.

Baroness Cumberlege

The Government accept the case for examining how far this legislation provides an adequate framework for professional self-regulation. We intend to commission an independent review of the current operations of the statutory bodies concerned. We shall then bring forward for consultation specific proposals for change in the light of the outcome of that review.
