The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of regional variations in the quality of GP specialty training.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Post-graduate medicine general practice specialty trainees consistently report high levels of satisfaction with their overall educational experience, according to the results of the National Education and Training Survey (NETS), 2022 to 2024.

Alongside NETS reporting broadly consistent overall educational experience satisfaction rates across regions, this speciality programme has a low attrition rate nationally.
