Commentary on Sections The Health and Care Professions Council Section 220 - References in enactments to registered health professionals, etc
1308.This section makes amendments to various Acts to exclude social workers and social care workers in England from the definition of ‘registered health care professional’ and similar terms. This avoids the unintended consequence of social workers and social care workers in England falling within such definitions by virtue of them falling to be regulated by the Council and coming within the remit of a section 60 order.
