The General Medical Council has spent nearly £56,000 so far defending legal cases related to physician associates and anaesthesia associates, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.

The FOI request, submitted by Pulse, asked for the total legal fees and costs associated with the legal challenges brought by the British Medical Association and campaign group Anaesthetists United.
