Sir - Last week the British Medical Association said 12,000 junior doctors will be without a specialist job in October and many will either go abroad for work or simply quit medicine.
This is not exactly new news, the debate has been ongoing for sometime with the Opposition blaming the Government for mismanagement etc. The Opposition was, not for the first time, missing the real reason behind the surplus of doctors.
The reason is obvious to anybody with an attention span longer than a goldfish's.
The Government has made a concerted effort for some time to import immigrant doctors, primarily as they are cheap labour. It seems they didn't anticipate what would happen when our doctors qualified and their jobs had been taken.
Or maybe they did anticipate it, but decided it wasn't that important?
