Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to what extent acupuncturists, and other alternative healthcare providers, are permitted to continue operating under the current Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No2) (Amendment No. 9) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020.

Answer:

In the period since this question was tabled the Executive has taken a series of carefully considered steps to bring us to the current position. As part of these acupuncturists, and other healthcare providers, are permitted to operate, with mitigations in place to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19.
