The Epilepsy Action, Epilepsy Society, and SUDEP Action have called for Mr Streeting to address medicine shortages, while a joint letter signed by 45 MPs urged him to appreciate the urgency. There are concerns over PAs working beyond their scope, with evidence of them diagnosing patients in A&E, ordering X-rays, performing anaesthesia, and prescribing medication. The British Medical Association has raised safety concerns, citing cases such as Emily Chesterton's death from a pulmonary embolism after being misdiagnosed by a PA, and Susan Pollitt's fatal infection caused by an unnecessary procedure performed by a PA. A review of the PA role is underway, led by Professor Gillian Leng, but Mr Streeting has refused to commit to regulations, instead focusing on the benefits of PAs in freeing up doctors' time.
