I have listened carefully to the concerns about capacity, workforce planning and fairness, and I do not dismiss them, but the numbers here are small, stable and capable of oversight. This is not about drawing red lines; it is about correcting a narrow and unintended consequence. The essentials are simple: recognition of these two GMC-approved UK programmes overseas; ministerial oversight of numbers; fair treatment of a very small cohort of UK-qualified graduates who have demonstrated that they can serve well in the NHS.
