I say to the noble Lord, Lord Marks, that the Department of Health and Social Care is taking forward a programme of reform, on a UK basis and in conjunction and discussion with the devolved Administrations, on a professional regulation legislative framework for such healthcare professionals. I say again to all contributors to the Committee debate that, while I have indicated that there are no current plans to introduce statutory regulation for psychotherapists and counsellors, the Government will keep the professions subject to regulation under review.
