The Leng review makes many good points, including redefining the name of PAs as assistants so as to clarify their role. But it fails to address how its proposals will be enforced.

We fought for safety.

But we still need to pay the lawyers who fought for us.

We are about £15,000 short.

We have written to the Presidents of the Medical Royal Colleges to draw their attention to the staggering revelations over GMC decision-making that came to light in our judicial review.

Although the hearing has finished we don't have enough money. Which is awkward.

We are still accepting donations. Please help us.

When it comes to supervision of PAs, their KC told the court that a supervisor could always check the patient records from former workplaces of an associate

If we win our case Mr Massey or his successor will need to address the questions on patient safety that so far they have failed to look at.

The decision by the GMC to not set scope was not identifiable.

The GMC had the power to have done so had it so wished

Despite our persistent questioning they have not adequately explained their reasons for making this decision.

We are none the wiser as to how the decision not to set a Scope of Practice for associates was reached.

Though they gave all sorts of excuses.

Sorry David it's taken longer to write than I thought and I've been tied up with some other things. It'll probably be tomorrow, now.

A good day in court, with Mrs Justice Lambert taking a lot of interest in the GMC's decision-making processes.

We hope to have a judgement by the end of July.

We will post a proper summary of the hearing tomorrow.

Leng review likely to recommend Physician Associates are renamed to something less confusing.

But our legal case remains essential.

Doctors are being replaced by associates. But why did the medical regulator make that so easy?

Our lawyers have demanded full disclosure.

We'll keep you informed.

In the meantime, we would appreciate help with raising funds.
