Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how much funding they provided to train Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates in 2022, and whether this funding came from the NHS workforce training budget or a from separate funding stream.
In 2022/23, funding to train physician associates and anaesthesia associates was delivered through a national funding model by Health Education England’s multi professional education and training investment plan. Health Education England is now part of NHS England.
