While it would not be appropriate to comment on any specific individuals, we commissioned Lord Mann’s review to root out the cancer of antisemitism and other forms of racism from our health service, and as well as implementing the recommendations from Lord Mann’s review that are for the Department and the National Health Service, we expect the General Medical Council to take the strongest possible action where the evidence demands it in relevant fitness to practise cases. The United Kingdom’s model of healthcare professional regulation is founded on the principle of regulators operating independently from the Government.

Perinatal Pelvic Health Services (PPHS) support the prevention, identification, and treatment of pelvic health problems during pregnancy and for at least one year after birth. As of September 2026, PPHS are available in 34 of 36 integrated care board areas, with NHS England working with the remaining areas to achieve full national coverage. NHS England’s service specification sets standards for care, including providing women with information on pelvic health, potential problems, and how to access support during pregnancy and after birth. It also requires specialist-led training for maternity, primary care, and other relevant professionals.
NHS England’s postnatal toolkit promotes early identification and referral for women who need additional support, including access to specialist pelvic health services. The UK Chief Medical Officers’ physical activity guidelines recommend that postnatal women undertake regular physical activity and begin pelvic floor exercises when able, while the routine six to eight week postnatal general practice check provides an opportunity to discuss recovery, pelvic health, and mental health, with referral to specialist services where appropriate. Through the Women’s Health Strategy for England, the Government is also supporting integrated models of care that bring together maternity, gynaecology, primary care, pelvic health, health visiting, and perinatal mental health services to improve long-term outcomes for women.

The Medical Training (Prioritisation) Act 2026 implements the Government’s commitment in the 10-Year Health Plan to prioritise United Kingdom medical graduates for foundation training places, and to prioritise UK medical graduates and other doctors with significant National Health Service experience for specialty training places. Under the act, doctors who have completed, or are completing, the UK Foundation Programme are prioritised for specialty training places.
The recently agreed 2026 Resident Doctors Deal also significantly expands the number of specialty training places by up to 4,500 over the next three years, including 1,000 next year. On 10 August 2026, NHS England announced that more than 350 of these additional specialty training places will be available in England to start in February 2027.
