Consultation on the Form of the Authority to Regulate Anaesthetic Technicians under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003

Consultation Document


Date of publication: February 2007
Submissions closed: Monday 2 April 2007

Summary


On 1 November 2006, following consultation with the sector, the Minister of Health approved anaesthetic technicians as an additional profession for inclusion in the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the Act).

Having determined that anaesthetic technicians should become a regulated profession a second question arises: what form of regulatory authority should be given responsibility for regulating the profession?

This consultation document has therefore been prepared to seek your view on whether anaesthetic technicians should be regulated as a stand alone authority or by an existing authority.
