§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to improve the teaching of psychiatric expertise to doctors undergoing vocational training.
§ Dr. VaughanThe content of particular programmes of vocational training is a matter for individual doctors or for local organisers of general practice training. However, psychiatry is prescribed as one of the specialties in which experience qualifies a general practitioner to draw the vocational training allowance and is one of the specialties prescribed in the National Health Service (Vocational Training) Regulations 1979.
