HC Deb 30 November 1973 vol 865 c242W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the projected increase in the number of medical students by 1981 will enable the United Kingdom to manage without using doctors from developing countries.

Sir K. Joseph

The planned increases should reduce the dependence of the National Health Service on an inflow of overseas doctors, but many of these doctors will continue to come and serve during periods of postgraduate training in British hospitals.
