Bob Blackman

Conservative — Harrow East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

NHS Pensions

Contribution

It takes rather a long time to train a doctor—up to six years—so it is a good job that the previous Government had the opportunity to train more doctors. Will the Minister look at one aspect of concern, which is that if doctors start reducing their overtime hours because of fiscal aspects, it will hamper the opportunity to get more patients treated and to shorten the length of waiting lists?
