§ Baroness Greengrossasked Her Majesty's Government:
What rules exist requiring a doctor to work in the National Health Service after receiving state-funded medical training. [HL427]
§ Lord WarnerThere are no rules which require a doctor to work in the National Health Service after receiving state-funded medical education. Data from the Medical Careers Research Group show that over successive cohorts of doctors from 1974 onward, 89 per cent of home graduates were working in United Kingdom medicine after both five and 10 years.
