Summary of Proposal:
In Ontario, the regulation of health professions is based on a self-governance model. There are 26 health regulatory colleges governing 28 health professions under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA) and their respective health profession Acts.
Under the RHPA and the Naturopathy Act, 2007, the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (College) is responsible for governing the profession of naturopathy in Ontario. Under these Acts, the College has the authority to make regulations on a variety of subjects, including regulations designating the drugs that members may prescribe, dispense, compound and sell.
Specifically, the College is proposing amendments to Reg.168/15 (General) made under the Naturopathy Act, 2007 to update the list of drugs and substances that its members may prescribe.
The College's proposal is not final. The ministry may refine this proposal based on feedback received through this consultation, prior to bringing it forward to the Minister of Health for her review and prior to seeking the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
