Regulation of the Practice of Health Professions Law (Amendment – Regulation of the Radiography and Imaging Profession) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a definition of "radiographer" (someone who received a radiographer's certificate) to the Regulation Law and updates the First and Third Schedules of the law to include the profession of radiography and imaging. In addition, the bill amends the Patient's Rights Law of 1996 to add "the radiographer" to the definitions of "caregiver" and of occupations in the health field. The purpose is to regulate the profession in law, similar to other paramedical professions already regulated in law.
