HC Deb 05 July 1976 vol 914 cc429-30W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the number of qualified doctors who will be available in 1980 and 1985, respectively; and whether he estimates that there will be a shortage or surplus of doctors in these years.

Mr. Harry Ewing

Estimates of the medical manpower likely to be available in future years are most usefully for- mulated in Great Britain terms and for these estimates I would refer the hon. Member to the reply that he has received today from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services.
