Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 January 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

I commend the speed with which my right hon. Friend has brought this legislation to Parliament. I have been a GP trainer for 25 years. Fifty per cent of GP trainees are international medical graduates, and there has been some disquiet from them. Will he reassure our international medical graduates that they are welcome and treasured in the health service?
