HULL YORK MEDICAL SCHOOL

Early day motion 365, tabled 26 February 2001 by John Grogan (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House, bearing in mind the calls in the NHS plan, echoed by the British Medical Association, for more medical professionals, welcomes the joint bid by the universities of York and Hull to establish a medical school; notes the support from NHS trusts in York, Hull, North Yorkshire, the East Riding and South Humber; further notes that this is the largest population centre in England without a medical school; and expresses hope that, if successful, this bid will improve healthcare provision and training in a region with significant areas of deprivation and help alleviate the significant problems the region has in recruiting and retaining clinical staff.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Conservative 4, Labour/Co-operative 4, Liberal Democrat 1.
