Department of Health Steering Group Report on the Regulation of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Due to be launched on Monday 16th June, the Report is expected to recommend the statutory regulation of acupuncture through the Health Professions Council as soon as is practicable.
It recommends that anyone offering the treatments should be required to register with a regulator, who will require new practitioners to take a degree in their subject. Those who fail to keep the regulator's code could be struck off, while those operating without a licence would be prosecuted.
Existing practitioners without qualifications would have two years to submit applications demonstrating their experience and knowledge. All would be required to pass tests in English.

So,which means a lot of Chinese acupuncturists whose came from China with work permit could be stuck off as poor engish.
