Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on the Government's intentions in regard to the future of the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960.

Mr. Sackville

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 bring forward for consultation specific proposals for change in the light of the outcome of that review.
