Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Out-of-Hours GP Services.


Out-of-Hours GP Services

We need to ensure that doctors are properly qualified. It is a requirement that PCTs should not allow anything that might mean that the GPs they employ are not capable of being GPs. Therefore, we need to ensure that we have proper induction and proper training. We must ensure that GPs are capable of doing the work that they are employed to do. It is not so much a matter of the EU; rather, it is a matter of ensuring that if someone comes into an area, the PCT and the providers have done the checks and ensured that that GP knows what they are doing and are safe.
