Questions received from the public on items on the agenda
Question
We would like know how many Physician Associates are already employed, and who being trained for employment for our area of South Tyneside and Sunderland as well as the North East in general. Also we would like to know if the ICB has adopted the BMA standards on Physician Associates.
Response
Physician Associates are employed by hospital trusts and therefore the ICB does not hold any information on such workforce matters. As such, it is not something that the ICB would be able to comment on and your query would need to be raised with the trusts directly for a response.
I apologise that we have been unable to provide any detail regarding this matter and hope you are able to secure the necessary information your require from the trusts.
