Explanatory note

(This Note is not part of the Order)

The Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960 was extended to the profession of Prosthetist/Orthotist by an Order made under section 10 of that Act in February 1997. As a result it is necessary to amend the 1962 Registration Rules made under the Act so as to include references to registration with the Prosthetists & Orthotists Board established under the Act.
