Debate
Medical Training (Prioritisation) BillContribution
I will refer to some of the questions that the noble Lord, Lord Kamall, asked. On any that I do not manage to answer, I will write. Alongside the prioritisation that we are talking about, the noble Lord asked about additional training places. We are creating more specialty training places. The NHS 10-year plan committed to creating 1,000 new specialty training posts over the next three years with a focus on specialties where there is the greatest need. The Bill will not delay this. We will set out steps on how we will do this as soon as we can. I will write on all the other issues that the noble Lord referred to.
