Dr. Tonge: To ask the Minister of State, Department for International Development what discussions he has had with the Malawi
Government regarding the emigration of (a) doctors and (b) nurses from Malawi. [116409]
Hilary Benn: None. However we are concerned about recruitment of trained medical personnel from developing countries. The Department
of Health (DoH) introduced a Code of Practice in 2001 designed to prevent such recruitment. The DoH has listed particular countries
from which active recruitment should be avoided. Malawi is one of these. DFID is working with DoH to ensure the Code is effective.
However the Code of Practice is only applicable to NHS recruitment. Anecdotal evidence shows that UK private recruitment agencies
continue to recruit from Malawi, and other countries on the DoH list. DFID is gathering evidence on the exact nature and scale of
such recruitment to determine if action can be taken to reduce its impact.
