CHRE concerned about representation on regulatory review

摘要

Concern over the absence of representatives of many regulatory bodies from a Department of Health review group has been expressed within the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence.But the council left it to individual regulators to take up the matter with the DoH.Only two of the six health regulators responsible for 19 professions under review - the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the Health Professions Council - are represented on the group.Instead,most,including the Royal Pharmaceutical Society,are restricted to participation in a reference group conference,which will meet for the first time in July.No details of any other reference group activities are available.
