HC Deb 16 December 1980 vol 996 c84W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider laying down a timetable for trainees undergoing vocational training as to how many hours per week they are expected to be on call.

Sir George Young

No; as an employee of a general practice trainer principal, a trainee's training programme, hours of work and arrangements for on-call duties, are a matter for agreement between him and his employer, having regard to any advice given by the professional bodies concerned.
