HC Deb 28 May 1971 vol 818 c272W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether it is the practice of his Department when considering the standard of qualification obtained by a doctor trained abroad to examine the syllabus, the staffing, entry conditions and standards and the equipment of the training establishment; and whether visits are made to the establishments concerned to check on these matters.

Sir K. Joseph

The recognition of overseas medical qualifications and the arrangement of any related visits, are matters for the General Medical Council; the Council is undertaking a review of the present arrangements for the registration in this country of doctors who have qualified overseas.
