HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c419W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to create posts in the National Health Service for the present number of unemployed doctors.

Mr. Hayhoe

There are no such plans. I have not seen evidence to indicate that special action is needed to combat medical unemployment. What evidence there is suggests that most spells of unemployment are very short and represent doctors between jobs.
