ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ joins Which? in fight against laser de-regulation

10th July 2008

 

ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ today joined Which? and other patient and professional organisations in opposing government plans to stop regulating cosmetic laser treatments from 1 October 2008

Chris Khoo, consultant plastic surgeon and member of ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ said:
“Patient safety must always come first, and ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ is concerned that proposed changes to the regulation of lasers will put patients at risk.

"All patients deserve to be protected by robust regulation. ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ is concerned about the rapid growth of potentially harmful cosmetic treatments without proper regulation. We join Which? in urging the Government to reconsider its decision to scrap the introduction of a regulatory framework for cosmetic treatments and calls for a proper debate that puts patient safety at its centre.
