“Nothing Has Been ruled Out”
Scotland’s Health Minister Nicola Sturgeon has written to The Herald:
We are currently analysing the application and offer data to determine the impact on Scotland’s medical trainees. We are also considering how best to support them. Nothing has been ruled out at this stage.
I am determined to do what is right for Scotland. I will reflect on the lessons from the recruitment and selection process this year, and the outcomes of the independent review of MMC, and if necessary will consider different arrangements for 2008 and beyond in Scotland.
The letters page also includes contributions from doctors in Scotland who have been affected by the new arrangements. See also the earlier Herald article: New system leaves careers in chaos.
