Dear Grampian Health Board,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the use of Physician Associates (PAs) for covering doctor shifts within your area. Specifically, I would like to know:

Over the last 6 months, how many doctor shifts*, categorised by department/specialty, have been covered by Physician Associates? Please include all types of shifts (day, night, weekend).

*Doctor shifts would include shifts usually covered by foundation doctors (FY1/FY2), locally employed doctors, core/specialist trainees and registrars. They may be refered to as 'F1 shifts', 'SHO shifts' or 'Registrar shifts', but I would advise liasing with your medical staffing team to clarify the exact terminology used by your organisation.

Yours faithfully,

Yasmin Marsh
