Physician and Anaesthesia Associate Professions Independent Review
Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 6th August 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with universities offering courses for physician associates and anaesthesia associates about the impact of accepting the recommendations of the Leng Review on future recruitment of students. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) In taking forward the independent review into physician associates and anaesthesia associates, which we recommend should now be known as physician assistants and physician assistants in anaesthesia, Professor Leng engaged with organisations including the Physician Associate Schools Council, and specific higher education institutions. We will continue to engage with a broad range of stakeholders as we develop a clear implementation plan to address the Review’s 18 recommendations. |
Physician and Anaesthesia Associate Professions Independent Review
Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 6th August 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of accepting the recommendations of the Leng Review, published on 16 July, on the health and wellbeing of physician associates and anaesthesia associates. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The principle question of the Leng Review was to assess whether the roles of physician and anaesthesia associate, which we recommend should now be known as physician assistants and physician assistants in anaesthesia, are safe and effective. The review’s findings were clear that, with changes in line with its recommendations, there remains a place for these roles to continue as supportive, complementary members of medical teams. NHS England has written to National Health Service trusts, integrated care boards and primary care networks reiterating their responsibilities to their staff as employers, including providing pastoral support where required. Importantly, it has also written directly to staff most affected by the recommendations setting out where they can find support if required. Whilst decisions about recruitment are a matter for individual NHS employers at a local level, physician assistants and physician assistants in anaesthesia can play a vital role in the delivery of the shifts set out in the 10-Year Health Plan for England. Our forthcoming 10 Year Workforce Plan will look at how to get the right people, in the right places, with the right skills to deliver the best care and we will consider the findings of the Leng Review when developing the plan. |

Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 6th August 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to prevent NHS employers from making physician assistants and physician assistants in anaesthesia redundant following the Leng Review, published on 16 July.

Physician Associates: Standards
Asked by: Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour - Life peer) Monday 4th August 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential impact of recommendation 4 of the Leng Review, published 16 July, that physician associates should not see undifferentiated patients except within clearly defined national clinical protocols, on (1) waiting times and (2) patient access to care. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Leng Review was clear that for patient safety reasons, physician assistants should not see undifferentiated patients except within clearly defined national clinical protocols. NHS England has written to National Health Service trusts, integrated care boards, and primary care networks, as well as to the staff most affected by the recommendations, to set out the immediate implications of the recommendations. In its letter to employers, NHS England set out that current physician assistants and physician assistants in anaesthesia should remain in post, with their deployment aligned to the recommendations of the review. The Department, alongside NHS England, royal colleges, and other system partners, including representatives of doctors, physician assistants, and physician assistants in anaesthesia, will develop a detailed implementation plan to address the review’s 18 recommendations, which will consider all relevant factors. Our forthcoming 10 Year Workforce Plan will look at how to get the right people, in the right places, with the right skills to deliver the best care, and we will consider the findings of the Leng Review when developing the plan. |
