I rise to present a petition of residents of Hanmer and Bettisfield in the Clywd South Constituency.

The petition states:

The petitioners…request that the House of Commons urges the Government to legislate in order to ensure that a GP may work in any part of the UK;
further to allowing…“English” GPs to work in Welsh GP practices without being included on the Welsh Practitioners List.

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of residents of Hanmer, Bettisfield and Clwyd South,

Declares that GPs having to be listed on the Welsh Performers List in order to practice as a GP in Wales is discriminatory and an unnecessary barrier to attracting GPs to work in Wales.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to legislate in order to ensure that a GP may work in any part of the UK; further to allowing a GPs’ Performers List in any other part of the UK; and further to allowing “English” GPs to work in Welsh GP practices without being included on the Welsh Practitioners List.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]
