Statutory regulation will only be considered where there is a solid body of evidence demonstrating that there is a level of risk to the public which warrants the costs imposed by statutory regulation, and which cannot be addressed through assured voluntary registration. No cost-benefit risk analysis of the case for introducing compulsory statutory regulation of the health care scientist workforce is now planned by the Department at this time.</p><p> </p><p>Modernising Scientific Careers has put in place standardised and accredited education and training programmes for the healthcare science work force that enables formalised regulation, whether voluntary or statutory.
