Our recent consultation, regulating healthcare professionals, protecting the public, committed the government to review the current make-up of regulated and unregulated professions.

This consultation considers how the powers to introduce and remove professions from regulation might be used in the future. It seeks views on:

  • the proposed criteria to make decisions on which professions should be regulated
  • whether there are regulated professions that no longer require statutory regulation
  • whether there are unregulated professions that should be brought into statutory regulation
