HC Deb 01 February 1965 vol 705 c194W
44. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Health how many entered the medical profession and how many doctors emigrated or left to take up appointments overseas in each of the last three years.

Mr. K. Robinson

The numbers of British based doctors who qualified in medical schools in Great Britain were:

1962 1,631
1963 1,643
1964 1,511

The number of doctors in this category who emigrated in 1962 is estimated to be about 400, but some of these doctors will return to practise in this country. Figures for later years are not yet available.
