the premises are licensed have to comply with the bye-laws relating to
the conduct of these premises. Licences are issued for one year. Further
reports are received by the Committee when they are considering the
renewal of the licences.
It is the premises which are licensed. Anyone who carries on
similar treatment not at any premises but at the homes of patients, does
not need to be licensed.
The Authority may refuse to grant or renew a licence, or may revoke
a licence granted to any person because the person is under the age of
21 years, because the person is considered unsuitable to hold the licence
or in respect of any establishment in which massage or special treatment
is or may be administered by any person who does not possess such
treatment qualifications as may be reasonably necessary. Power is
also given to the local authority to make bye-laws prescribing the technical
qualifications to be possessed by any person who administers massage
or special treatment at any licensed establishment. The Council applied
to be allowed to make a bye-law prescribing minimum standards of
qualification of the practitioners at licensed premises. The request,
however, was not granted. The question of what qualification or
standard of training those practising at licensed establishments should
possess, therefore, remains unsettled. That members of the Chartered
Society of Physiotherapy are exempted from certain provisions suggests
that membership of that Society as a minimum qualification cannot be
insisted on; and yet it would be most invidious for an authority to have
to determine that some qualifications or periods of training are acceptable,
but others not, while again there are many practitioners whose previous
experience in other fields enables them to give most helpful services
although they possess no academic qualifications.
