Thank you, Llywydd. There have been a number of cases drawn to my attention of doctors trained in Wales who want to work in Wales, but, because they’ve worked abroad, or have been further trained abroad, they find it very difficult to register to work again in Wales. In one case—and I wrote to your predecessor about this case—she had to return to New Zealand having returned to Wales because of difficulties registering permanently, and that was a huge loss to the NHS.

The latest individual to contact me talks of hundreds of pages to be filled in, with input required from former employers. And, with the administrative burden so heavy, some in Australia refuse to take part in that process. There is talk of a need for a complex reference document from six previous employers. I’ve heard about confusion about the information required. There is a requirement in terms of further training, and Wales is seen as nation that can’t give an assurance as to where one might be allowed to work.

So, what is now being done to facilitate the process of reregistering doctors in Wales, so that we can attract Welsh doctors back, or other doctors from abroad, for that matter?
