  23. We need more world class international graduates and less of the substandard UK staff.

  24. The entry requirements for UK medical schools have been systematically lowered for over 30 years now to fill the huge expansion in places resulting in lower calibre doctors.

  32.  @Fan-zx1lz  We train far too many doctors in the UK.
