To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many surgeons in the London Deanery are involved in shortlisting of general surgery candidates for specialist training grades 1-3 within the medical training application service; how many applications are to be considered; how many pages have been photocopied in the process undertaken so far; how many hours of work are estimated to be needed to score each 100 complete forms; and how the required trained assessors will be trained and assessed themselves.

The information requested is not held centrally. The local selection process is a matter for the local deaneries and units of application.
