Health written question – answered at on 25 October 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many doctors currently working in the NHS gained their primary medical qualification in (a) Malawi and (b) Uganda.
The following table sets out the number of doctors working in England, who gained their primary medical qualification in Malawi and Uganda as at
All doctors( 1) by country of primary qualification | |
Number of all doctors( 1) | |
Malawi | 24 |
Uganda | 73 |
(1) Excludes hospital and community health services medical hospital practitioners and medical clinical assistants, most of whom are general practitioners working part time in hospitals. Notes: Information about country of qualification is derived from the General Medical Council. For staff in dental specialties, with a General Dental Council registration, the country of qualification is therefore unknown. Data Quality: The NHS Information Centre for health and social care seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality. Where changes impact on figures already published, this is assessed but unless it is significant at national level, figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses. Source: The NHS Information Centre, Medical and Dental Workforce Census. |
