5.1 The F&HPO presented and read through highlights of his report whilst sharing his screen. 5.2 In response to Members’ questions, the SEHO responded as follows:- · There would be a transitional period but those who were working from home would be looked at as all premises needed to be registered and licenced. If someone was operating from their home without being registered, then they were already acting illegally and this would be picked up through complaints. · The legislation didn’t cover all cosmetic procedures, just acupuncturing, skin piercing, tattooing etc. but there were plans that Welsh Government would extend it to Botox, dermaplaning etc., more in line with what they were doing in England. 5.3 The Committee AGREED to note the contents of the report and that a separate Briefing Session is arranged for the Committee, to include a presentation from Welsh Government.
