Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will consult the United Medical Associate Professionals before taking further action in relation to the Leng Review, published on 16 July.

In taking forward the independent review into physician associates and anaesthesia associates, Professor Leng sought evidence from a range of voices including patients, staff groups, employers within the National Health Service, professional bodies, and academics. This included United Medical Associate Professionals.

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.
