The Guardian reviews on a call by the public accounts committee to supply pay out increases to consultants functioning in struggling accident and emergency departments to halt a chronic shortage in certified and knowledgeable workers. Responding to the report, wellness minister Dan Poulter said:

It will take 6 many years to train an A&ampE advisor, and there is no easy resolve – but our prolonged-phrase plans are robust, escalating the quantity of training locations by 75 subsequent year, and planning for all trainee physicians to spend time in A&ampE. We are also seeking at generating an A&ampE job far more eye-catching as portion of our negotiations on the advisor contract.
