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

Modernising Medical Careers

I thank my hon. Friend. Although we are not allowed to refer to what is happening outside the Chamber, I can legitimately bring some of the comments made by junior doctors to the House’s attention. There has been much speculation about how many doctors will not have jobs, and the figure seems to range between 9,000 and 11,000, so we can safely say that it will be about 10,000. We know that the Department of Health is in discussion with VSO about finding employment for our junior doctors, which is a shameful position for the fifth largest employer in the world to be in.
