Proceeding contribution from Austin Mitchell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Commonwealth Doctors and Dentists.
Commonwealth Doctors and Dentists
That is a hypothetical fear. There is not unemployment among British-trained doctors. At the moment, there are 20,000 Commonwealth doctors working in hospitals in the health service, and we are dependent on them. What will happen to them? That is the big question. What will happen to their futures? It is all right to say that we need to protect British doctors—everybody agrees with that—but why now, so suddenly and so abruptly?
