Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what representations he has received from (a) allied health professionals and (b) their representative bodies on the proposed increase in the registration fee for the Health and Care Professions Council.

A search of the Department’s Ministerial correspondence database has identified 79 items of correspondence received since 24 September 2018 on the proposed increase in registration fees for the Health and Care Professions Council’s registrants. None of these were from organisations known to represent allied health professionals.

The Department does not routinely record the occupation of correspondents.
