Written question asked by Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Monday, 26 March 2007.


Health: Doctors

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What action they are taking to ensure that experienced junior doctors do not leave the National Health Service if they are unable to secure an appropriate training post as a result of the move to the Modernising Medical Careers training system.
Answer

Junior doctors will be able to apply for other National Health Service medical jobs advertised by NHS trusts and for places on specialty training programmes as vacancies arise. NHS employers are working with stakeholders to ensure that support can be offered to applicants who do not secure a training post and that they can readily access other suitable NHS medical jobs.
