Medicine: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to increase funding for the UK Foundation Programme office.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The UK Foundation Programme Office (UKFPO) manages the national application process for the UK Foundation Programme. The UKFPO is funded by, and is accountable to, the four United Kingdom statutory education bodies, including NHS England for England.
We are committed to ensuring that the number of medical foundation training places meets the demands of the National Health Service in the future, and this will be supported by appropriate funding.
