Furthermore, training places for biomedical scientists are being increased considerably to ensure increases in the work force in future years. Latest figures from strategic health authorities (SHAs) suggest that in 2003-04, around 200 or 74 per cent. more biomedical scientist students were supported by SHAs than were the previous year. We are also ensuring that trained specialists are available in the future by investing in training places. We have centrally funded 186 additional specialist registrar places in clinical radiology between 2002-03 and 2005-06.
