Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

A smaller but equally important point is that the Bill also places at risk a reciprocal arrangement under which approximately 30 Maltese doctors undertake specialty training in the UK each year. Around 70% of their salaries are covered by the Maltese Government. They work in non-numbered posts and are contractually required to return home. This has been a mutually beneficial arrangement for decades, and it would be unfortunate if it were lost unintentionally.
