Doctors: Training

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2015 to Question 4761, if he will require all newly-qualified doctors whose training has been paid for from the public purse either to practise for a specified minimum period in the UK or, if practising overseas, to repay all or part of the cost of their training; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

As part of the forthcoming Spending Review the Department will look at all of its expenditure including how we may further increase retention in the medical/NHS workforce. In doing so we will look to learn from other sectors, where retention schemes have been developed to ensure a return on tax-payer investment.
