The Health Care and Associated Professions (Miscellaneous Amendments and Practitioner Psychologists) Order 2009 (Commencement No. 1 and Transitional Provisions) Order of Council 2009
This Order brings into force, on 1st July 2009, the new governance arrangements for the Health Professions Council (“HPC”) that are set out in the Health Care and Associated Professions (Miscellaneous Amendments and Practitioner Psychologists) Order 2009 (“the principal Order”). The principal change is that the Council, instead of having a mix of elected registrant and appointed lay members, will now be fully appointed, and its constitution is now to be set out in a separate Order of the Privy Council. The new governance arrangements also include revised arrangements for the constitutions of HPC’s statutory committees.
