Doctors: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of the number of people waiting for medical training between foundation level and speciality training.
Answered by Karin Smyth
We continue to work with NHS England to keep the selection process for all applicants to medical speciality training under review.
We are committed to ensuring that the number of medical specialty training places meets the demands of the National Health Service in the future. NHS England will work with stakeholders to ensure that any growth is sustainable and focused in the service areas where need is greatest.
