Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)
Of course, and I apologise for not answering it.
Lord Watts (Lab)
Can we perhaps shoot just one fox? There was a suggestion that there are not enough non-Anglo-Saxon GPs available to do this. I have just looked at the facts: 46% of GPs were born outside the UK and 25% of them are from Asia.
Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)
I am very grateful to my noble friend for mentioning that, because that is what was being whispered to me but I did not have the statistics. I am very grateful to him for providing them.
