Commenting on a 1.1% increase in numbers of consultants in England between December 2004 and March 2005, Dr Alan Russell, deputy chairman of the BMA's Consultants Committee said:
"Consultant numbers continue to rise gradually and patients are slowly starting to see the benefits. However, if we are to get the home-grown consultant workforce we really need, more postgraduate training posts must be created. This would help prevent large numbers of junior doctors being pushed into unemployment - which is becoming a very real threat - and reduce our reliance on overseas consultants, many of whom come here from developing countries who need them more than us."
