§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to ensure that an adverse report on a general practice trainee by the general practitioner with whom he or she is carrying out a one-year training does not disproportionately affect the trainee's career; and what information he has as to the number of adverse reports made since the start of trainee entrance to general practice.
§ Dr. VaughanWhen a trainee general practitioner does not receive a satisfactory report at the end of his 12-month training period, and the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Training for General practice refuses to issue a certificate of experience but recommends a further period of training, we are prepared, to consider authorising one extension, not exceeding six months' full-time training, to the trainee's training period.
Information on the number of trainees who have not received a statement of satisfactory completion of a period of training is not available.
