Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many (a) whole-time equivalent and (b) headcount paediatric consultant specialists in kidney disease are working in the NHS; and how many vacant posts there are; [185411] (2) how many trainee doctors specialising in paediatrics have been working in the NHS in each of the last seven years, broken down by gender; [185412] (3) how many and what percentage of paediatric trainee doctors have gone on to take up consultancy posts in each of the last seven years. [185413] Mr. Hutton: As at 31 December 2003, there were 1,589 whole-time equivalent and 1,753 headcount paediatric consultants working in the national health service. Data held by the Department does not distinguish how many of these consultants specialise in kidney disease. As at 31 March, the three-month vacancy number for paediatric consultants was 43. The three-month vacancy rate was 2.7 per cent. This is lower than the average consultant three-month vacancy rate across all specialties, which was 4.7 per cent. Table 1 shows the number of doctors in training in the paediatric specialty since 1997, broken down by gender. Table 2 shows the cumulative total and percentage by year of first appearance as a consultant in the medical and dental workforce census.

[144374] Mr. Hutton: Vacancy data is collected by the Department of Health as three-month vacancies as at 31 March each year. These are vacancies which trusts are actively trying to fill, which have lasted for three months or more.

Vacancy and staff in post numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number. 4. Calculating the vacancy rates using the above data may not equal the actual vacancy rates. The Department does not collect data on the number of newly appointed consultants in microbiology and virology. Workforce data is collected through the annual Department of Health medical workforce census. The census is a snapshot of data as at 30 September in the appropriate year. The information in the table shows the net increase in the number of microbiology and virology consultants since 1997: Hospital, Public Health Medicine and Community Health Services (HCHS): Consultants within the medical microbiology and virology specialty--England _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
