Consultation responses
We regularly respond to consultations from the Scottish Parliament, Government and other key statutory bodies. We provide detailed written submissions, meet with key participants to advocate on behalf of members and give oral evidence alongside other key stakeholders.
We're also keen to hear views on new consultations as they are received, and will aim to keep the list below updated with our submissions. To contribute to these, please get in touch with matthew.james@rcpsych.ac.uk.
Comments on consultations should be sent to matthew.james@rcpsych.ac.uk.
