In 2014, there was a sharp decrease in the number of registered nurses, midwives and physiotherapists in the BIG register. This is the result of a mandatory re-registration and stricter work experience requirements.
In 2017, there was a decrease in the number of registered dentists, pharmacists, healthcare psychologists and psychotherapists as a result of mandatory re-registration.
In 2018, there was a decrease in basic doctors as a result of compulsory re-registration.
