§ Mr. Luceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will state the number of British-trained doctors who have emigrated from the United Kingdom each year for the last five years.
§ Mr. AlisonInformation is not available in the form requested.
The latest estimates of the annual net loss by emigration from Great Britain of British- and Irish-born doctors, for the last five years for which figures are available, are as follows:
1964–65 500 1965–66 400 1966–67 450 1967–68 450 1968–69 250 As more information becomes available about the whereabouts of individual doctors, the estimates may need to be revised, the more so for the later years. In particular, the estimate for 1968–69 may need to be raised.
