Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Modernising Medical Careers.


Modernising Medical Careers

My hon. Friend makes an extremely important point, and I entirely agree that we now need to ensure that the principles of modernising medical careers are effectively implemented. Those principles include open, transparent competition for training opportunities with agreed national standards. Thanks to the work done on modernising medical careers, we have a system that will be fair to junior doctors, but that will ensure, too, that the NHS can get the right doctors and the best people in the right jobs to go on giving the best possible care to patients.
