HC Deb 03 July 1967 vol 749 c162W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Health what study he has made of the evidence about emigration of doctors contained in a survey conducted by the Junior Hospital Doctors Association, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

This survey was I understand undertaken in a single hospital region in order to obtain experience for a wider one and the results quoted can only be preliminary. I expect to publish shortly the results of my Department's work on the emigration and immigration of doctors during the period 1962 to 1964 which will describe in considerable detail the general features of this movement.
