I appreciate all the good work that has been done on the graduate training programmes and recruitment internationally but I am asking about the here and now and replacing GPs who are moving from one healthcare practice, bringing a GMS panel with them, and that practice being subsumed into a larger practice. Does Mr. Gloster feel there is something fundamentally wrong with not having a backstop for the community, for example, the inclusion of a locum until another GP is recruited? The three-month notice period is fundamentally flawed.
