The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the 2024 National NHS Staff Survey Results, what data his Department holds on whether (a) consultants, (b) trainees and (c) specialty, associate specialists and specialist doctors in (i) clinical radiology and (ii) clinical oncology believe there are enough staff in their organisation for them to do their job properly.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department does not hold this data. As reported in the 2024 NHS Staff Survey, 34.01% of respondents said that there are enough staff at their organisation for them to do their job properly. The data from the Staff Survey cannot, however, be used to identity trends in specialities.
