Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure GPs are added to the medical performers list in a timely fashion.
NHS England is responsible for the operation of the NHS England Medical Performers List. Due to current issues with the time taken for applications for change of status from general practitioner (GP) registrar to GP to be completed, NHS England is accepting the checks and balances that Health Education England put in place when first accepting GP registrars onto their training scheme.
