Do you think the GOsC Council should be smaller?
5 August 2015
The Department of Health (England) has launched a consultation on reducing the size of the GOsC Council from 14 to 10 members.
The GOsC has requested the reduction, in order to streamline the Council’s governance and reduce costs to registrants. To find out more and contribute your views go to https://consultations.dh.gov.uk/professional-standards/gosc-constitution-amendment-order. The consultation runs until Friday 25 September.
If the Privy Council then approves the changes, the GOsC Council will be reconstituted from 1 April 2016 with five osteopath and five lay members. Recruitment to these and fitness to practise committee roles will take place in September.
