Dr. Niamh Humphries:

There are still 2,593 non-trainees in the system and based on research I did a number of years ago on non-EU doctors, many of whom are also non-trainees, one would have to question having so many doctors in the system for whom career progression is almost impossible. I am not sure how that should be resolved but there should not be doctors in the medical workforce who cannot access career progression and find it difficult to access training. That needs to be addressed.
