Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

I do not want to repeat the arguments I have already made about why we are unable to support the amendments from the noble Baroness, Lady Gerada, on UK overseas campus graduates. However, many of the same considerations are relevant to Amendment 12A, including the creation of what would be a financial and operational pressure on the foundation programme, undermining efforts to widen access into medicine for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and prioritising homegrown doctors.
