Statement on Self-Regulation

Right-Touch Compliance proportionate and targeted It is the minimum regulatory force required to achieve the desired result. “Right-touch regulation means always asking what risk we are trying to regulate, being proportionate and targeted in regulating that risk or finding ways other than regulation to promote good practice and high quality health care. It is the minimum regulatory force required to achieve the desired result.” Harry Cayton Chief Executive Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence
