Abstract

Lord Alderdice, the Liberal Democrat Peer and Speaker to the Northern Irish Assembly, met with Ann Casement, Chair of the UK Council for Psychotherapy, in February 1999 at the House of Lords and offered to bring a Private Member's Bill to regulate the profession psychotherapy. They subsequently met with the then Minister for Health in the Lords, Baroness Hayman, and Anne Richardson, Senior Policy Adviser to the Department of Health. At this meeting, Lord Alderdice presented the case for taking the regulation of psychotherapists through a Private Member's Bill route because many psychotherapists do not work in the NHS.
