Task force on retaining doctors

Sir, – According to your news report (September 9th), the Government is “setting up a national task force to help improve the experience of doctors”! By the time any follow-up action happens, many more hospital doctors will have upped sticks and emigrated to far-off shores. The Government’s “go to” solution of setting up task forces is really no longer viable! – Yours, etc,
