PAs and anaesthesia associates (AAs) face bullying and being sidelined in the NHS .

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has ordered a review into PAss and AAs in England .

He says the situation has become so destructive’ that it is damaging teamwork across hospitals and GP surgeries.

The British Medical Association is calling for a strict set of rules to be drawn up limiting what they can do.

Key will be NHS England database on patient safety incidents, which services across the country report into.

The data for the past year is not publicly available, but a senior NHS source said: “The key here is not whether PAs are making mistakes everyone in the NHS does, doctors included but whether they are causing more safety incidents than you would expect.
