The purpose of this amendment is to repeal provisions in Part 8 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 in relation to Wales, so that the current registration system applying to acupuncture, tattooing, semi-permanent skin colouring, cosmetic piercing and electrolysis will no longer apply. The references to sections 14 and 15 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 will also be removed from the Schedule to the Local Government Byelaws (Wales) Act 2012.

 

The effect of this amendment is that local authorities will be unable to run parallel systems which address the same concerns. This provides clarity for both local authorities and practitioners as to which scheme is in operation.
