Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 April 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Modernising Medical Careers.


Modernising Medical Careers

The number of posts must be based on the needs of patients and the service as well as the needs and wishes of trainees. As I have tried to stress, it has always been the case that some doctors in training have either had to change their specialties or been unable to progress in their training to consultant grade. The new system does not change those realities.
