Health Committee supports HCPC on negative register proposals
This week we have seen the Health Committee publish its first report on the work of the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC). On 7th January 2014 the Health Committee held an accountability session with the HCPC. This session forms part of the Committee’s regular programme of accountability sessions with health and care regulators. The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) reported to the Committee that in 2012-2013 the HCPC met all its standards of good regulation. It commented that the HCPC’s performance was particularly notable as it has completed the transfer of social workers from the General Social Care Council during this time. The Committee reiterated the PSA ‘s view that the HCPC operates as an effective regulator.
