Medical Training (Prioritisation) BillContribution
However, if Amendment 12A is taken in isolation from the amendment tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Gerada, it would, as I have said, introduce an inconsistency, with graduates of overseas campuses of Irish medical schools being prioritised, while graduates of overseas campuses of UK medical schools are not. While these graduates will not be prioritised, again, they will remain eligible to apply for foundation programme places and may secure posts where places remain available, including opportunities to train overseas.
