Evidence and consultations
Public consultation on proposals for change to health care professional regulation
This paper responds to a report prepared by the Chief Medical Officer for England, Sir Liam Donaldson, on medical regulation, 'Good Doctors, Safer Patients_'_ and the review by the Department of Health on the regulation of non-medical health care professions.
Overall, these reports have identified the central issues that must be resolved and have presented a mass of evidence and argument bearing on them. However, we believe more needs to be done to ensure there is a consistent overall framework for professional regulation.
