Maria Caulfield
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
In April 2022, we introduced legislation through the Health and Care Act 2022 to provide powers for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to introduce a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England. The scope and details of any future licensing scheme will be set out in secondary legislation and subject to stakeholder engagement and public consultation. Officials are currently assessing the implementation of these plans.
