28. Mrs. Gilroy

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement about his plans to increase the number of medical doctors in training. [88266]

Mr. Denham

In July 1998 the Government accepted the proposal to increase medical student intake in the United Kingdom by about 1,000 places per year. 842 additional places have already been announced for medical students in England, with more to be allocated in due course. Numbers of postgraduate medical trainees are also increasing.
