Fewer than 10 per cent of physician associates (PA) are regulated at present.
We were told the purpose of regulation was to impose standards and accountability. But that should be now, not in 2027

With the RCGP openly saying there is no role for PAs in general practice, is it now time to pause recruitment into training programmes?

Take note UK. Value, really value, our NHS. Bankruptcy due to the misfortune of needing medical care is something none of us know, or need to know, how to worry about.
For Canadians, once you're in the hospital, the province takes care of the bill.
No one in Canada has ever declared bankruptcy because of hospital bills.
America is, in fact, alone in this regard.

I genuinely think that if you read most of the newspaper coverage of the junk food ban, you would conclude that straightforward, simple porridge oats are banned because they are unhealthy. Headlines and articles completely failing to specify it’s only oat products with added sugar, salt or fat.

MPs have launched a review into pensioner poverty after the government admitted the cut to winter fuel payments could force 100,000 people into poverty
Surely this is exactly the sort of review which should have taken place before MP’s were asked to vote?

The news that people inheriting land worth at least £1 million will have to pay tax on it has drawn significantly more outrage from politicians and the press than the news that 1 in 3 children in Britain are now living in poverty…
