§ Hugh BayleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what training is provided to nationals of sub-Saharan African countries working within the NHS in treating HIV/AIDS. [164760]
§ Mr. HuttonThe training and education that a member of the national health service workforce receives will depend upon the demands of the specific role within the NHS. An individual's training needs are identified through the development of individual career plans and appraisal mechanisms. There are no specific training programmes for nationals of sub-Saharan Africa working in the NHS, but if specific needs are identified, these are addressed on an individual basis.
