§ 33. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the cost to the nation of educating a medical student up to the point where he is registered by the General Medical Council as fully qualified to practise.
§ Mr. PrenticeThe average cost to public funds of training a student at a medical school in Great Britain is not less than £7,500. After leaving medical school a doctor must spend at least 12 months in an approved hospital post before he is eligible for full registration and for this period there is no cost to public funds.
