Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Secretary of State for Health.
Secretary of State for Health
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the problems of training posts for junior doctors extend beyond the software of MTAS? There is a fundamental mismatch between the number of junior doctors looking for training posts and the number of posts available because consultant expansion has failed and there are not enough training programmes coming through. Does he accept that it does not make sense to plan medical students, plan house officers, plan senior house officers and plan registrars without planning for the end-product, which is consultant posts?
