Junior Doctors: Training
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many resident doctor trauma and orthopaedics training places were offered by each integrated care board in England in 2023–24 and 2024–25. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department does not hold data on medical specialty training places by integrated care board, but is able to present data by National Health Service training region. The following table shows the number of trauma and orthopaedics specialist training posts available in the 2023 and 2024 entry rounds by region:
Source: NHS England, available on the NHS.UK website, in an online only format. The table presents the number of posts offered at specialist training stage three, meaning medical professionals will already have undertaken at least two years of relevant core training or equivalent before entry to this specialty training programme. 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. |

Medical Records
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 9th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Single Patient Record, for which a request for information was published by NHS England on 29 April, will allow patients to see when and where their record has been accessed. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The single patient record will give staff in any provider access to the information they need to provide care, and would end the need for patients to have to repeat their medical history when interacting with the National Health Service.
We are currently in the early stages of considering the scope, and this includes what information patients will be able to see about when and where their record is accessed. Our engagement with the public identified the importance of there being an audit trail of access.
We will mandate its use by the NHS and social care, so that everyone has the opportunity to have a single patient record. |
