question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many anaesthesia associates were practising in England in (1) 2005, (2) 2010, (3) 2015, (4) 2020, and (5) 2023.
tabling member printed	Baroness Merron
uin	HL1026
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2023 answer text <p>The Department does not hold the historical data requested.</p><p>There are two proxy measures which could be used to understand the number of anaesthesia associates (AAs) currently practicing in England. Firstly, data on the National Health Service workforce is drawn from the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and published by NHS England. ESR is the payroll system for the NHS. The latest data for June 2023 shows that there are 72 full-time equivalent staff recorded as AAs working in NHS trusts and other core organisations in England. Coding of AAs on ESR was only introduced in 2021 and it is therefore likely that some people are not coded correctly.</p><p>Secondly, the Royal College of Anaesthetists holds and publishes a voluntary register of AAs across the United Kingdom who have completed the anaesthetist associate training. As of November 2023, this held 167 registered members, 134 of whom have listed an NHS trust as their employer. The register is voluntary and so may not include all those who have completed training. In addition, registration with the voluntary register does not guarantee that an individual is currently practicing.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 19/12/2023 16:27:35 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Callanan on 15 June (HL760), why the UK Endorsement Board is missing from the Public Appointments Order in Council; and whether (1) the Commissioner for Public Appointments, and (2) the National Audit Office, have been made aware of that omission.

uin	HL1026
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2022 answer text <p>As the UK Endorsement Board is not regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments, it does not appear on the Public Appointments Order in Council, which was last reviewed in 2019 – prior to the UK Endorsement Board being established. With the exception of the Chair, appointments to the UK Endorsement Board are made by the Chair, with the consent of Ministers rather than being full public appointments.</p><p> </p><p>BEIS officials have not discussed the UK Endorsement Board with the Commissioner for Public Appointments and the National Audit Office. The Government undertakes to consult the Commissioner’s office to discuss whether to include the UK Endorsement Board in the Order.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/06/2022 16:21:58 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
