Asked by: Baroness Golding (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of physiotherapists and podiatrists being trained as independent prescribers, what progress is being made to extend prescribing to include other groups of allied health professionals.

NHS England is working closely with the relevant professional bodies and the Department to keep the case for any further expansion of prescribing responsibilities for the allied health professions under review.
