- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the finding set out in the Royal College of Radiologists' Clinical radiology census report 2021 that there is a 10 per cent. funded vacancy rate in NHS England's clinical radiology workforce, whether he plans to take steps to ensure that the forthcoming 10 Year Cancer Plan addresses that vacancy rate.
- Answer
-
The Department has commissioned Health Education England (HEE) to review the long-term workforce demand and supply, including in radiology. In addition, the Department asked NHS England and NHS Improvement to develop a long-term workforce plan and its conclusions will be available in due course. The forthcoming 10 Year Cancer Plan will set out plans to ensure that the appropriate workforce is in place to support all cancer patients.
