Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

2:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

It has been put to me that the acceptance of qualifications from some other countries is very open. This arose decades ago in connection with medical qualifications and the freedom of movement in Europe but there is very little we can do about it. If we are entitled to work in other places, people are entitled to come and work here. I was asked whether this was not too open but I am not asking the Minister of State to do anything about it because he cannot do so.
