§ 16. Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Health what improvements in the postgraduate training of doctors employed in the non-teaching provincial hospitals he proposes to effect in the next two years.
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. J. Enoch Powell)Extension of the schemes now being developed by regional hospital boards.
§ Mr. BoydenIs not this almost entirely dependent on voluntary money? Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Porritt Committee on Medical Aid to Overseas Countries particularly criticised post-graduate training of overseas doctors and, by implication, British doctors in non-teaching British hospitals?
§ Mr. PowellI am glad to recognise that the schemes being worked out by 929 many hospital boards are enjoying the assistance of the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust. The development of those schemes will indicate the directions of future advance.
