Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 February 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

These amendments would still enable the differentiation of international medical graduate applicants for specialty training who are applying from outside the UK versus those already here and working in the NHS, so they would be consistent with substantially reducing the competition ratios. In a nutshell, the Government have said they want to do what these amendments propose. We simply propose that they should have the ability to get on with it sooner if they find that, in practice, they can do so.
