Ensuring NHS attracts best junior doctors

I refer to your article (Careers in chaos, June 22) concerning the lack of prospects open to junior doctors wanting to pursue their training in Scotland. The purpose of my writing is to highlight the actions we have and are taking to ensure that our NHS continues to attract the best possible candidates for the training posts we have available. I remain convinced that the introduction of Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) is right and will lead to a more rational approach to training for doctors in Scotland.
