The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to lift the cap on the number of medical degree places.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Government does not currently plan to lift the cap on medical school places. We are committed to training the staff we need, including doctors, to ensure patients are cared for by the right professional, when and where they need it.
