This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Bailie Margaret Morgan:- "Council notes that in Scotland today, more and more people are choosing to have non-surgical cosmetic surgeries. Council acknowledges that this is a personal choice which people make for a whole variety of reasons and is supporting a growing industry of healthcare professionals and beauty therapists. It is increasingly visible on our high streets - however - the sector is not fully registered and is concerned about the resulting undue level of risk for clients. Council further notes that in the last ten years the Scottish Government action and independent healthcare clinics in Scotland are now regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland: any non-surgical cosmetic procedures that take place in these settings are subject to certain standards. However, the whole sector is not yet fully regulated, meaning that anyone can perform procedures, without the need for any formal training or qualifications. Council shares the Scottish Government's concern about the resulting undue level of risks for clients - acknowledging that anyone undergoing cosmetic procedures has a right to expect that they will be carried by an appropriately trained and insured practitioner, in hygienic premises. Council notes with concern that unfortunately, this is not always the case. Council recognises that although there are many reputable practitioners, there is currently an increase in complications from procedures that have gone wrong, resulting in negative consequences and traumatic experiences, and even death. Council recalls a company which carried out a Brazilian Butt Lift in a Glasgow hotel in 2024 which left a woman in hospital and commends the action taken by the council's Environmental Health team to prevent procedures being carried out in unsuitable and non-sterile locations, serving three prohibition notices on two companies and an associated individual practitioner. Council recognises that Local authority environmental health officers, have an important role in addressing concerns about public safety within the currently unregulated sector, and they have pressed for the introduction of regulations and been involved with the Scottish Government regarding this. Council further recognises that Scottish Government has engaged with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), in its role as regulator of independent health care in Scotland, via the Scottish Cosmetic Interventions Expert Group in the development of proposals, and recognised that many procedures are not fully covered by existing regulatory frameworks, meaning that anyone is able to purchase and administer products such as Botox and dermal fillers , despite the potential for significant harm. Council welcomes the recent consultation on the Regulation and Licensing of non-surgical cosmetic procedures and that other stakeholders including businesses are supportive of efforts to make the non-surgical cosmetic procedures sector safer and better regulated, and, that there is broad support for the principle that some procedures can be safely undertaken in a licensed setting, and a majority agreed with the Scottish Government's proposals for which procedures should be in this group. Council notes that on 8th October 2025 the Scottish Government delivered on its commitment to introduce a Non-surgical Procedures and Functions of Medical Reviewers (Scotland) Bill. Council resolves to: - support the development of a framework to keep people safe when they chose to undergo a non- surgical procedure - support the Scottish Government's creation of a quality benchmark which will empower responsible providers - support the need for enforceable regulations for non - surgical cosmetic procedures. Council instructs the Chief Executive to ensure the Council continues to further engage with legislative process and to respond to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee call for views ending on Friday 14 November 2025.".
