HC Deb 24 January 1997 vol 288 cc767-8W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many junior doctor posts by region do not meet the new deal targets. [12062]

Mr. Malone

The new deal targets are contained in the "New Deal on Junior Doctors' Hours", copies of which are available in the Library. At 30 September 1996 regional task forces reported that 22,221 junior doctors, or 78.4 per cent. of all juniors, were complying in full with all the new deal hours limits. The posts by region not meeting the targets were as follows:

Number
Northern and Yorkshire 1,116
Trent 239
Anglia and Oxford 532
North Thames 1,297
South Thames 814
South and West 731
West Midlands 434
North West 958
Total 6,121
