The National Health Service (Professions Supplementary to Medicine) Amendment Regulations 2000
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Professions Supplementary to Medicine) Regulations 1974 (the “principal Regulations”). The Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960 (“the Act”) has been extended to include prosthetists and orthotists and arts therapists among the professions regulated under that Act. These Regulations add those professions to those whose employment by Health Authorities and Special Health Authorities is prohibited for the purposes of providing services under the National Health Service, except where their names are included in the register maintained pursuant to section 2(1) of the Act by the relevant Boards, unless they were employed in that capacity immediately before the coming into force of these Regulations.
