I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department have no role in the registration of behaviour analysts. CORU is a body set up under the aegis of the Department of Health to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education, training and competence through statutory registration and regulation of health and social care professionals, in accordance with the Health & Social Care Professional Act 2005. While I am aware that there is a range of specific professions to which CORU’s attention is focused, it would be for my colleague the Minister for Health to answer the Deputy’s question in regard to this particular profession.
