In his response, he noted;
<blockquote>
“It appears that a single purchase of the course from the Cosmetic Treatments Injectables Association was made by a Jobcentre Plus Direct using a flexible fund that allows low-value discretionary funding for training that will lead directly to a job. In this case, the customer had a job offer that was subject to her undertaking this training.”
</blockquote>
He went on to say;
<blockquote>
“It is unlikely that Jobcentre Plus would have previously been aware of the Independent Healthcare Advisory Services (IHAS) guidelines on this training but following the query from the IHAS and your correspondence, we have taken steps to guarantee that Jobcentre Plus purchases of training are restricted in line with these guidelines. We have amended the Jobcentre Plus guidance with specific reference to this type of training, clarifying that only doctors, dentists and registered nurses should be permitted to apply for funding for this type of training.”
</blockquote>
In relation to the specific claims on the CTIA website and advertising about being ‘backed’ by the government, Lord Freud said;
<blockquote>
“Despite requests from the DWP, the organisation (CTIA) has failed to remove their strapline from fresh advertisements suggesting endorsement from DWP. The organisation had remained on our procurement register as a provider of another non-contentious training course. In view of their continued use of the strapline, however, we have concluded that they are in breach of their contractual terms and conditions with DWP and have now removed them from our procurement register."
</blockquote>
Sally Taber, Head of IHAS declared this result as “great news”, and many within the industry would agree with her on this victory in the fight for patient safety within the aesthetic industry.
With Sir Bruce Keogh embarking on a full-scale review of the industry looking at everything from product and practitioner regulation it’s no doubt that the topic of beauty therapists and cosmetic injectables will come up in discussions. We hope some action will be taken to recommend to the government, once and for all, restrictions on the provisions of these products and services to the public.
