HC Deb 07 February 1969 vol 777 c190W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many doctors who had emigrated to Canada and the United States of America have now returned to the United Kingdom as a result of the visit by officials of the former Ministry of Health to persuade them to do so; and how many of those who returned have now gone back to Canada or the United States of America.

Mr. Ennals

27 doctors who had emigrated to Canada or the United States have returned to the United Kingdom under arrangements made following the visit of the recruiting team in October, 1967. None is known to have subsequently gone back to Canada or the United States of America. I have no figures for the number of doctors who have made their own arrangements to return.
