Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons regulation of the health professions is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly but not to the Scottish Parliament.
This question was answered on 9th September 2020
The devolved nations, institutions and their respective devolution settlements are all different and are considered as individual organisations. The devolution settlements in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland enable different powers to each of the respective devolved legislatures and to the Ministers of the devolved administrations.
