HC Deb 10 June 1975 vol 893 c151W
30. Dr. Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the most recent figures for doctors emigrating from this country.

Dr. Owen

The provisional estimate for the year ending September 1974 is of 800 British or Irish doctors emigrating, partially offset by 500 returning. However, as my right hon. Friend said in her reply to the hon. Member on 29th April—[Vol. 891, c.76–7.]—there ale signs that emigration may have been increasing.
