The Government published their White Paper on the regulation of health professionals on 21 February 2007. It claims to 'signal a move towards a more robust regulatory system which earns and sustains the confidence of all encountering it.'

The stated aim with which SDT will be particularly concerned is that of 'moving towards a more rehabilitative approach to regulation, with the development of a comprehensive strategy for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation services for all health professionals.'
