The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to help registrars find work in the North of England.

Answered by Karin Smyth

As we continue to expand the medical workforce, we will ensure there is growth in registrar and specialty training places, to meet the demands of the National Health Service. NHS England will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure this growth is focused in areas of the country and in specialities where the need is greatest.
