The main news this morning focuses on a review that Streeting has called to end the toxic debate about deployment of greater numbers of physician and anaesthesia associates. 

In other news, the MHRA has a new Chair and a review finds that fewer than a third of GP partners can afford to award themselves the 6% pay rise that was recommended.
