Written question asked by Earl Howe (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) on Wednesday, 26 November 2008.


Health: Clinical Physiologists

Question
Further to the Written Answer by Lord Darzi of Denham on 29 October (WA 171), what is the timetable for the publication of the next-steps document and consultation on modernising scientific careers.
Answer

We expect to publish the modernising scientific careers next steps document in November 2008. It will offer a way forward for the regulation of the totality of the healthcare science workforce. The latter will be subject to a separate consultation in 2009 and all matters relating to the regulation of clinical physiologists will be considered. Issues relating to the current practice of clinical physiologists are for local clinical governance procedures.
