Summary:Dr Tariq Ahmed Mian, who was supported by the Commission for Racial Equality, claimed the NHS in Scotland had discriminated against him on racial grounds after he failed to be shortlisted for a training post as a registrar in public health in Edinburgh. If Dr Mian, who qualified in the Punjab and is a British citizen, cannot succeed in completing an approved NHS training he will stay in junior medical grades or even not have his "limited registration" extended, and be unable to practice. The NHS Scotland argued that Dr Mian had only two-and-a-half years to run with the current limited registration and that the post had a duration of six years. He finds himself in a "Catch 22", unable to win a training post in case his registration is not extended for long enough.
