The three-year deregulation plan for the Ministry of Health Planning
includes the target of two per cent reduction in regulatory burden
in 2002/03. The Ministry achieved a 1.3 per cent reduction,
slightly below the 2002/03 target, primarily resulting from the
need for additional consultation around the Health Professions
Amendment Act, 2003.
It is anticipated that the Ministry will meet its 2003/04 target
— a reduction of 10 per cent in regulatory requirements
— largely due to the significant changes in the regulatory
framework for health professions.
