To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S4W-15081 by Alex Neil on 5 June 2013, what criteria was used to project a need for one trainee perfusionist at the Golden Jubilee Hospital and none at the other NHS boards.

NHSScotland boards are expected to follow workforce planning guidance as outlined in NHS CEL 32(2011). It is the responsibility of each health board to produce workforce plans on an annual basis and to take into consideration the training and development needs of their staff. Demand is based upon NHS board workforce projections for staffing groups while supply is determined by the current stock of trainees.

We are advised by the Golden Jubilee Hospital that its projection to recruit a trainee clinical perfusionist for academic year September 2014, forms part of its workforce planning arrangements, taking into account future succession planning, and potential plans to establish a national training centre or programme at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital for trainee clinical perfusionists.
