§ Mr. Goodladasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many doctors in each specialty have resigned early
387Wfrom the National Health Service in each of the last three years; and how many he estimates have emigrated.
§ Mr. MoyleI regret that the information requested in the first part of this question could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Information about doctors who have permanently emigrated is not directly available as it is not known how many leaving the country do so with the intention of returning subsequently.
