Manitoba Advises Of Public Consultation On Regulated Health Professions Act
Manitoba Health and Seniors Care advises that counselling therapists in the province have requested self-regulation under the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) and Manitobans have an opportunity to provide feedback on this application.
The Federation of Associations of Counselling Therapists in Manitoba submitted the application for self-regulation earlier this year. Individuals can provide written submissions to the Health Professions Advisory Council no later than Monday, Jan. 31, 2022.
The Health Professions Advisory Council is responsible for advising the minister of health and seniors care on matters relating to the act, including the regulation of health professions. To do this, the council seeks information from and consults with members of the public, health organizations and regulatory colleges, and conducts research to determine if it is in the public interest to regulate a health profession.
