The HCPTS Health Committee extended paramedic Andrew P Friend's suspension for a further 12 months.

Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year
The HCPTS Health Committee suspended paramedic Andrew P Friend for 12 months after a private hearing concerning health-related impairment. The published decision redacted the medical details. An interim suspension was also imposed because there was no evidence that the condition was being satisfactorily addressed and unrestricted practice would create an unacceptable risk.
