I would be interested to hear an update on the efforts to increase the number of graduate entry medicine places. Maybe it is my age but more people I know are going into graduate entry medicine than before. What are the efforts to increase the number of such places and the reasons for not reducing the fees to attract more applicants and from more diverse backgrounds?
