Question
To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with the UK Government regarding non-surgical cosmetic procedures, following the launch of the UK Department of Health and Social Care's consultation on what procedures should be in scope of the licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England.
Answer
Officials met with the UK Department of Health and Social Care in advance of the UK Government’s consultation and will continue to engage with them as the Scottish Government takes forward its own proposals on the regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. As the Scottish Government’s work progresses in this area, we will take into consideration all relevant material, including – where relevant – the UK Government consultation.
