Straight-A students are being turned away from medicine degrees at British universities due to ?bonkers? government quotas, health experts have warned.
The news comes as the NHS recruits foreign doctors in record numbers, many of whom have ?little or no knowledge of British culture?.
Quotas mean that top students are forced to study medicine abroad ? and fund their own education ? or choose another degree.
For 2013-2014, English universities were allowed to recruit just 6,071 medicine students, even though the General Medical Council registers 13,000 doctors each year and the NHS struggles to recruit enough staff.
