Before the Minister continues, I expressed concern about the period of time service providers would have to upgrade their personal training programmes, given the minimum requirements to be met by September 2015. With funding only becoming available in the coming months, practitioners will have very limited time and might not be able to achieve the new qualifications required, unless they extract themselves from the service.
