Motion Text

That this House shares the concerns of Remedy UK that poor workforce planning may result in more than 6,000 experienced junior doctors being unemployed in August; deplores the rushed implementation of the Modernising Medical Careers programme, which is resulting in anxiety and disillusionment in the medical community; and calls for an urgent review of the division of training posts to ensure that £1.5 billion worth of medical training is not lost to the NHS.
