While there are no plans at present to introduce legislation to regulate alternative medical practitioners the Deputy may wish to note that a national working group was established in May 2003 to advise on future measures for strengthening the regulatory environment for complementary therapists. The group is expected to report later this year and I will review the position in the light of its recommendations.
