Recommendation (the committee's words)
We welcome Government action on educating the public on the risks of travelling abroad for cosmetic procedures and providing guidance on how to do so as safely as possible and its use of social media channels to do so. With the number of people engaging in cosmetic tourism growing rapidly, this effort must be sustained, and educational materials should remain simple and widely accessible and supported by the data release we recommend. (Conclusion, Paragraph 96)
