Medicine: Higher Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of medical school places.
Answered by Karin Smyth
We are committed to training the staff we need, including doctors, to ensure that patients are cared for by the right professional, when and where they need it.
We have launched the 10-Year Health Plan which will set out a bold agenda to reform and repair the National Health Service. Ensuring we have the right people, in the right places, with the right skills will be central to this vision. This summer we will publish a refreshed Long Term Workforce Plan to build the transformed health service we will deliver over the next decade.
