The Health Secretary promised extra posts for junior doctors to ease the crisis over MTAS.
She told MPs there would be 200 additional "run-through programmes" for doctors who are already in training for their chosen specialities. These 200 extra training posts will be at the ST3 entry level and made available in the second round of the application process. Further additional temporary posts - fixed-term specialist training appointments - also will be made available, but it is unclear how many.
The BMA estimates that 12,000 doctors will not get a post as a result of the system.
