![THE SUPPLY OF DOCTORS FOR THE JUNIOR GRADES 93. The Deans of the Medical Schools in Great Britain have supplied the following information about the actual output of medical graduates in the calendar years 1955—59 and the anticipated output in the calendar years 1960—64: Graduates from Great Britain Graduates Year from Men Women overseas Actual Output 1955 1,370 430 100 1956 1,484 395 102 1957 1,366 416 117 1958 1,313 362 | 142 1959 1,334 393 146 Anticipated Output 1960 1,428 412 152 1961 ji at by 41] 158 1962 1,264 427 | 150 1963 1,281 438 193 1964 1,330 400 185 Totals 13,445 4,084 1,445 From information also supplied by the Deans it appears that with rare excep- tions all new graduates from Great Britain enter the Hospital Service as pro- visionally registered house officers to get the requisite experience to entitle them to become fully registered. A proportion of the graduates from overseas will also do so. The figures show that a fall in the number of graduates from Great Britain is to be expected: the number is likely to average 1,700 per annum in 1961—64 as compared with 1,780 in 1955—60. 94. At some stage after becoming fully registered, the majority of doctors are likely to continue to leave the Hospital Service for medical work in other fields such as general practice, the armed forces, the civil service, the local government service, the universities and research, trade, commerce and industry, and some will leave the country to practise abroad.
