 Proposed Minor Amendment to Allegation

 This is to advise you that the Health and Care Professions Council intends to apply to a
 Panel of the Conduct and Competence Committee on the day of the hearing to formally
 amend the allegation.

 The reason for the proposed amendments is to better reflect the evidence which will be
 provided to you in full in advance of the final hearing and to clarify the allegation. It is the 
 HCPC’s position that these proposed amendments are minor in nature and do not affect
 the substance of the allegation.

 The allegation that will be put before the Panel is as follows:
