Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has plans to allocate additional funding to the clinical radiology workforce.
The Health Education England (HEE) Cancer Workforce Plan commits to the expansion of capacity and skills across six professions by 2021, including clinical radiology. In 2021/22 HEE will continue implementation of this plan, including working with NHS England and NHS Improvement to increase the number clinical radiology training posts by over 100. Allocation of funding for future years will be dependent on future Government Spending Reviews.
