Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I addressed this earlier before the Deputy got here. There are three parts. First, there are the South African doctors, who, after two years under supervision, can take over GP lists and become general practitioners. Second, the number of trainees will go up to 350 next July in the first year, and by the fourth year, there will be 1,400 in training. There is already a tilt more positively towards the number coming in versus the number going out, but still, per head of population it is way off, so I do not dispute that whatsoever-----
