Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to put transitional arrangements in place before the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill comes into force.

The Government does not plan to introduce transitional arrangements ahead of the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill coming into force.

It is the intention of the Department to commence the bill as soon as we are able, subject to passage through Parliament.
