answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2024 answer text <p>The number of advertised specialty training places in England is set and reviewed by NHS England, on an annual basis. This includes how many posts are available for each specialty. NHS England are due to complete the planned increase in medical specialty training places by September 2024, to more than 2,000 places over three years. This expansion is both supporting existing planned growth for mental health, cancer, and diagnostic services, as well as elective recovery, urgent and acute care, maternity services, and public health medicine.</p><p>In addition, as part of the historic expansion of medical school places set out in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, we will also ensure there is adequate growth in foundation placement capacity, as those taking up these new places begin to graduate, and a commensurate increase in specialty training places. NHS England will work with stakeholders to ensure this growth is sustainable and focused in the service areas where need is greatest.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 11/03/2024 17:49:55 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
