§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will assist overseas doctors who, in the rush to gain a place on a vocational training course before the deadline of 15 February, find themselves left out and discriminated against.
§ Sir George YoungThere is no deadline for gaining a place on a vocational training course. The National Health Service (Vocational Training) Regulations 1979 will apply in the same way to all doctors intending to provide general medical services and I see no reason to suppose that overseas doctors will be discriminated against or require special assistance.
