To ask His Majesty's Government whether previous structured undergraduate clinical training in NHS hospitals will count towards the requirement in the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Act 2026 that prioritised applicants for postgraduate medical training should have had significant experience of working in the NHS; and if so, to what extent.

On 29 June 2026, the British Medical Association’s Resident Doctors Committee announced that their membership had voted to accept an offer from the Government to resolve their dispute on pay and jobs.
The deal for resident doctors includes the introduction of up to 4,500 specialty training places over the next three years. Trusts will be asked to create these roles with funding partially coming from repurposing spending on medical locums, agency work, and some locally employed doctor roles coming to an end.
NHS England will work with trusts to ensure that the appropriate clinical supervision capacity and training infrastructure is in place to deliver these changes.
The Government is committed to ensuring the number of medical specialty training places meets the demands of the National Health Service in the future. That is why NHS England will work with stakeholders to ensure that the expansion of places is sustainable and focused in the service areas where need is greatest.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the planned expansion of resident doctor training places is matched by adequate (i) clinical supervision capacity and (ii) training infrastructure across NHS trusts.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with NHS England on the potential impact of the resident doctors’ settlement on staffing in accident and emergency departments.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with NHS England on the potential impact of the resident doctors’ settlement on staffing in accident and emergency departments.
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, regularly discusses a range of matters with NHS England.
No specific discussions on the impact of the resident doctors’ settlement in England on staffing in accident and emergency departments have taken place. However, discussions have taken place on the impact that a resolution of the resident doctor dispute on pay and jobs in England has on the resident doctor workforce, other National Health Service staff, and the running of the NHS. The absence of further strikes by resident doctors will allow NHS services in England to run normally. The details of the expansion of training places are now being developed.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the resident doctors’ pay settlement on long-term retention rates of doctors within the NHS workforce.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the resident doctors’ pay settlement on long-term retention rates of doctors within the NHS workforce.
The new resident doctor pay and training settlement in England (the Deal) is made up of measures which address concerns raised by the British Medical Association’s Resident Doctors Committee on behalf of resident doctors. Under the Deal resident doctors in England will benefit from improved pay scales, better working conditions, and improved career progression opportunities with up to 4,500 additional training places delivered over the next three years. We hope that these changes mean resident doctors feel that the National Health Service remains an attractive place to work and develop their careers in.
No specific assessment has been made of the potential impact of the new resident doctor pay and training settlement on rates of doctor emigration on long-term retention rates of doctors within the NHS workforce.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he plans to have with relevant stakeholders to help mitigate the potential impact of upcoming resident doctors' strike.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he plans to have with relevant stakeholders to help mitigate the potential impact of upcoming resident doctors' strike.
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, made an offer to the British Medical Association’s Resident Doctors Committee (BMA RDC) leadership on 12 June to seek a resolution to their ongoing dispute. The BMA RDC in response agreed to cancel their announced strike action from 15 to 19 June.
The BMA Resident Doctor membership is now voting on whether to accept this offer and resolve their dispute. Prior to the cancellation, my Rt Hon. Friend was working closely with NHS England and other system partners to ensure preparedness across the health service.
To ask His Majesty's Government what was the median salary for resident doctors employed by the NHS in England in each year since 1996–97 in (1) cash terms, and (2) real terms adjusted for inflation; and what was the percentage salary increase in each of those terms between 1996–97 and 2025–26.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the withdrawal of additional speciality training places for resident doctors in 2026-27 on NHS workforce planning.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the withdrawal of additional speciality training places for resident doctors in 2026-27 on NHS workforce planning.
On 22 March, the Government made a formal offer to the British Medical Association (BMA) Resident Doctors Committee (RDC) to seek to resolve their dispute. This was the product of joint negotiation with BMA RDC officers. The offer included a package of measures to tackle training bottlenecks, including increasing specialty training places by up to 4,500 over three years.
This offer was rejected by the committee on 25 March, and the BMA RDC immediately called industrial action in England for 7 to 13 April 2026.
An assessment was made by my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and senior leaders within NHS England that due to the financial and operational impact of the six day strike action in April, the 1,000 additional roles set to be launched in April could not go ahead as planned.
We will still be introducing the additional 1,000 training posts committed to in the 10-Year Health Plan over the next three years.
The decision not to bring forward the launch of 1,000 additional training places to this April will not reduce the number of doctors working in the National Health Service or its ability to serve patients. The additional posts would have changed the proportion of doctors in formal training pathways or in local employment or non-training roles.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an estimate of of the cost to the NHS of the resident doctors’ strike beginning on 7 April 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an estimate of of the cost to the NHS of the resident doctors’ strike beginning on 7 April 2026.
We have estimated cost of strikes at £50 million per day for resident doctors currently. This would mean that the six-day strike beginning 7 April 2026 is estimated to cost approximately £300 million. We continue to update estimates as new data becomes available, in line with receiving business as usual financial data from National Health Service providers.
The NHS has tried and tested plans in place to minimise disruption and will work with partners to ensure safe care for patients continues to be available and emergency services continue to operate.
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total cost to the NHS of resident doctors strikes since 2023.
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total cost to the NHS of resident doctors strikes since 2023.
Since 2023, there have been 65 strike days, including three rounds of five day industrial action in July, November, and December for 2025. We have estimated that resident doctor industrial action for 2025 cost £50 million per day. Overall costs are therefore approximately £3 billion, recognising that strikes in earlier years cost less due to subsequent inflation.
