Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many students (a) entered and (b) graduated from medical schools in England in each year since 1997; and how many graduates from medical schools in England in each year since 1997 have commenced full-time employment in the NHS. [162097]
Alan Johnson: The latest intake and output data for medical schools are shown in the first table. There is no precise data on how many students either do not complete undergraduate medical degree courses or do not join the NHS medical workforce after graduating. However, these figures do not include overseas students who return home immediately upon graduating based on figures from the annual NHS workforce survey as shown in the second table, the Department of Health believe that virtually all graduates from English medical schools take up posts as Pre-Registration House Officers (PRHOs) in the NHS within 18 months of graduating apart from those overseas students who return home immediately upon graduating.
Number of House Officers | |
---|---|
1997 | 3,028 |
1998 | 3,173 |
1999 | 3,122 |

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average cost is of the education of a medical student up to registration with the General Medical Council; and what the expected average cost is of educating a medical student who commences on a clinical sciences foundation year up to registration with the General Medical Council. [168185]
Alan Johnson: The cost of training a doctor from entry to medical school to full registration with the General Medical Council is estimated to be of the order of £200,000 to £250,000, including the year as a Pre-Registration House Officer (PRHO). This is a considerable investment in medical training from public funds. Some students commence their medical training with a foundation year, for which the Higher Education Funding Council for England provides funding to the institution of £5,922.
