Decision Time
The result of the division on motion S6M-02139, in the name of Sandesh Gulhane, on removing the cap on funded places for front-line medical students, as amended, is: For 67, Against 50, Abstentions 0.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament welcomes the sustained increases in medical undergraduate places at Scottish universities; notes that the level of new domestic training places for medicine is proportionately higher in Scotland than anywhere else in the UK; further notes that, this year, the Scottish Government fully funded all places for Scottish domiciled students holding an offer from a Scottish medical school, where they met the terms of their conditional offer; recognises that the Programme for Government sets out steps to substantially increase training places further; believes that widening access to medicine is essential, and supports doubling the number of widening access places to help create a more diverse medical workforce.
