§ 71. Dame Joan Vickersasked the Minister of Health how many doctors from overseas countries, men and women respectively, have been trained in the hospitals of the National Health Service; what are their nationalities; and how many have remained to practise in this country.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonNo estimate is available of the total numbers trained or settled in this country, but in October, 1963, there were approximately 4,200 overseas doctors in junior grades in the hospital service in England and Wales; they came from over 70 different countries mostly from the Commonwealth countries and India in particular.
