Health and Care Professions Council (Miscellaneous Amendments) Rules Order of Council 2025
Agenda item 4 is consideration of a negative instrument. The policy note states that the purpose of the instrument is to provide the Health and Care Professions Council with the power to increase the fees that are charged for processing and scrutinising applications for admission to its register, renewal of registration and readmission or restoration to the register.
The instrument also rectifies errors made by the Health and Care Professions Council (Miscellaneous Amendment) Rules Order of Council 2023, which will give HCPC chairs, practice committees and appeal panels the power to arrange virtual preliminary meetings. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument at its meeting on 11 March and made no recommendations in relation to the instrument, and no motion for annulment has been received.
There are no comments. Does the committee agree that we do not wish to make any recommendations on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
The committee will not meet in public next week, but we will meet in private to consider our future work programme. After the Easter recess, the committee will meet in private to consider a draft stage 1 report on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill. With that, I close the public part of the meeting.
11:54 Meeting continued in private until 12:06.
