Question
To ask the Scottish Government what the total number of radiology training places has been in financial year (a) 2019-20, (b) 2020-21, (c) 2021-22, (d) 2022-23 and (e) 2023-24.
Answer
The number of medical training places is calculated by the training year they are advertised/filled rather than by financial year. Most posts start in August to September of each year, with a smaller number from a subsequent recruitment round starting in February. The figures quoted in the following table are specific to training years, with data for 2024 not yet available.
Year | Posts Advertised | Posts Filled |
2019 | 26 | 26 |
2020 | 39 | 39 |
2021 | 34 | 34 |
2022 | 37 | 37 |
2023 | 36 | 36 |
