Doctors and Nurses: Overseas Workers
Asked by: Earl Howe (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Friday 30th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) doctors, and (2) nurses, who were trained in the UK left the UK within five years of completing their training to work abroad in (a) 2023–24, and (b) 2024–25. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department does not hold the information requested. |

Medicine: Higher Education
Asked by: Earl Howe (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what was the total number of medical school places compared to the total number of resident doctor training places in each of the past five years for which data are available. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) We are committed to training the staff we need to ensure patients are cared for by the right professional, when and where they need it. This is central to the vision in our 10 Year Plan. The following table shows the size of the medical school intake in England for each of the last five annual intakes available, the number of foundation programme trainees in years one and two in England, and the number of core and run through level one specialty training posts offered across all specialty pathways in England:
Sources: the Office for Students: Medical and Dental Students survey 2024, available at the Office for Students’ website in an online only format, the National Training Survey from the General Medical Council, available at the General Medical Council’s website in an online only format, and the Specialty Training Places: NHS England, Fill Rates dataset, available at the NHS.UK website in an online only format. Notes:
In 2020 and 2021 the Government temporarily lifted the cap on medical school places for students who completed A-Levels and who had an offer from a university in England to study medicine, subject to their grades. The UK Foundation Programme Office works to ensure that all eligible applicants receive a foundation training place. |

Doctors: Training
Asked by: Earl Howe (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many medical graduates did not continue training by taking a speciality as a resident doctor in (1) 2023–24, and (2) 2024–25. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Medical graduates initially complete a two-year foundation programme after their graduation. It is common for doctors not to progress from the completion of the second year of their foundation programme directly into specialty training. The following table shows the proportion of doctors in year two of their foundation programme who had not progressed into medical specialty training programmes within each 12-month period of the end of their foundation training, in each of the last 10 years:

Doctors: Training
Asked by: Earl Howe (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many student doctors received their first choice for speciality training in (1) 2023, and (2) 2024. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Medical students completing their studies will initially apply to a two-year foundation programme of employment, and after completing that they will be able to apply to enter medical specialty training. The Department does not hold information on doctors completing foundation year placements and entering specialty training as doctors are not required to rank applications where they are applying across multiple specialties. However, many individual specialties do utilise a single national process where geographical locations can be ranked. The United Kingdom’s Foundation Programme Office does publish information on the success of medical graduates in accessing foundation programme placement choices. This shows that 84% of the 10,634 applicants across the UK got their first preference foundation school for the 2025 foundation programme. This compares to 75% of the 9,702 applicants in the 2024 foundation programme. |
