Currently, there are 32.5 Medical Assessors working in the Department's Medical Review and Assessment Service. This figure includes the Chief Medical Adviser and the Deputy Chief Medical Adviser.

The Medical Assessors can be assigned to any of the medical-related schemes administered by my Department and are not assigned to individual payment sections.
