§ Baroness Finlay of Llandaffasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is being done to ensure Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland health departments and academic bodies are fully represented and involved in the changes to junior medical staff training posts as set out in Modernising Medical Careers. [HL3257]
§ Lord WarnerThe provision of postgraduate medical education is a matter to be taken forward by the individual countries in the United Kingdom. However, it is clearly an area where the four United Kingdom governments and relevant professional and academic bodies need to work in close partnership. Our policy documentModernising Medical Careers 130WA was publicised jointly by the four UK health departments and we continue to liaise closely.
