HC Deb 10 November 2003 vol 413 cc89-90W
Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills pursuant to his answer of 21 October,Official Report, column 502W, on university medical schools, if he will break down the sum of –126,092 by individual institution in receipt of such funding; how many of the full-time medical students were on a course that leads to registration with the General Medical Council and subsequent clinical practice as a doctor; and if he will break down such students on courses leading to registration with the GMC by university. [136730]

Alan Johnson

The sum referred to was allocated by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) which does not, as a matter of policy, publish sensitive student data at course level for individual institutions. Of the 480 full-time students under 21 in medical schools, only 81 are on a course that leads to registration with the General Medical Council and subsequent practice as a doctor.
