Medicine: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the level of financial support provided to medical students through the NHS bursary.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The NHS Bursary funding arrangements are reviewed annually ahead of the start of each academic year.
We have applied an uplift of 2% to all NHS Bursary maintenance grants and allowances for the academic year 2024/25. This is the first time the maintenance grant has been uplifted since 2015.
