NHS Funding Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 January 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on NHS Funding Bill.

My question is not about infrastructure. It is about the Secretary of State’s last paragraph, on the training element. He referred to the fact that we often refer just to “doctors and nurses”. Actually, radiologists are absolutely vital to ensuring, first, that you get a swift diagnosis of cancer and, secondly, that you get swift and proper treatment for it. The Royal College of Radiologists reckons that we will be 2,000 radiologists short by 2023. How are we going to fill that gap?
