The Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960 was extended to the professions of Clinical Scientist, Paramedic and Speech & Language Therapist by Orders made under section 10 of that Act in June 1999. As a result it is necessary to amend the Registration Rules 1962 made under that Act so as to include references to registration with the Clinical Scientists Board, Paramedics Board and Speech & Language Therapists Board established under the Act.
