Ministers refuse to fund medical school aiming to solve UK doctor shortage

Ministers refuse to fund medical school aiming to solve UK doctor shortage A new school set up to boost the number of doctors in England has been told it will not receive any funding for domestic students – meaning that in future it may only be able to give places to those coming in from overseas.

The government is refusing to fund a single place at Three Counties Medical School, University of Worcester, despite health bosses in the area saying they are spending £70m a year on agency staff to plug a chronic shortage of doctors. The Guardian
