Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many doctors hold a live temporary (a) emergency registration or (b) licence to practise; and how many of those doctors have submitted applications to restore their routine registration or licence to practise, as of 5 September 2022.

The information requested is not held centrally. The General Medical Council is the independent regulator of all medical doctors practising in the United Kingdom, which sets and enforces the standards all doctors must adhere to. In order to practise medicine in the UK, doctors are required to hold a registration with a licence to practise.
