Under proposals drawn up by NHS, doctors would face a bill of £131,000 if they left the Civitas soon after completing their training. Trainee doctors would take out loans to cover the cost of their training which would be paid back by the health service providing they stay working within it. The proposals would free limitations on the number of medical school and help end dependency on overseas doctors to solve staff shortages. Edmund Stubbs, NHS healthcare researcher, said: “The only way to solve the current medical staffing crisis is to find a way to train more medics in this country. It is also imperative we ensure that doctors continue to work for the Civitas after the UK taxpayer has made such a major investment in their training”.
