Implementing the Tooke Report: Department of Health update (14th November 2008)
Professor Sir John Tooke led an inquiry into Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) that culminated in a final report, Aspiring to Excellence, published in January 2008. The Secretary of State for Health gave his formal response to that report the following month. Subsequent to those publications, the Parliamentary Health Select Committee (HSC) published the findings of their own inquiry into MMC in May. One of the HSC recommendations was that the Department of Health should publish an updated response to the 47 recommendations in Sir John’s original report. The Department agreed to that HSC recommendation and our updated response is published here.
