The inquest into Susan Pollitt's death revealed that an unnecessary operation led to her death due to the presence of a drain in her abdomen, indicating neglect in medical care.
Roy Pollitt condemned the use of physician associates in the NHS, claiming that his wife might still be alive if they had employed more qualified personnel instead of 'cheap labor'.
The coroner pointed out that there is currently no national framework for training or assessing the competency of physician associates, which raises serious concerns.
Evidence shows that physician associates have been covering a significant percentage of doctor shifts in elderly care, leading to fears of blurring professional lines and risking patient safety.
