Recommendation 7

As highlighted earlier in this report, the Committee has also heard evidence that having the status of a regulated health care professional does not, of itself, demonstrate any prior experience of the non-surgical procedures covered by the Bill that would be necessary to fulfil the supervisory responsibilities envisaged by the Bill to a suitably high standard. The Committee therefore reiterates its call for the Scottish Government, in responding to this report, to set out what minimum training and qualification standards within the discipline of non-surgical procedures covered by the Bill supervising clinicians will additionally be required to demonstrate.
