Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to her Department's press release of 10 August about the expansion of training posts, how many of the 1000 this year and up to 4,500 over 3 years will be allocated for neurology and elderly medicine.

On 29 June 2026, the British Medical Association Resident Doctors Committee announced that its membership had voted to accept an offer from the Government to resolve their dispute on pay and jobs.

The deal for resident doctors significantly expands the number of specialty training places by up to 4,500 over the next three years, including 1,000 next year.

The distribution of these places, including between specialties, will be confirmed in due course.
