The Health Professions Council (HPC) has welcomed publication of the Report to Ministers from the Department of Health Steering Group on the Statutory Regulation of Practitioners of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and other Traditional Medicine Systems Practised in the UK.
The HPC’s president, Anna van der Gaag, said: “These practitioners provide an important service to the public and we welcome the proposals for statutory regulation. The HPC depends on the professional knowledge and expertise from the professions it regulates to provide detailed input, particularly into its standardsetting process. We look forward to working with these professions in the coming months and years as we move towards statutory regulation.”
