I agree it is important we have continuing professional development and keep up to date with all improvements in standards. It is important to note the Bill as set out has agility in relation to people with qualifications or whose qualifications change and is not overly prescriptive about the qualifications required. Otherwise, we would have to change the primary legislation every time something new comes in. We need that agility and that is why we are sticking with what we have in the Bill.
