Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many ophthalmology training places have been provided at universities for Scottish domiciled students in each of the last five academic years, and how many places are planned for the current academic year.
Answer
Ophthalmology is a post-graduate specialism in medicine which does not involve universities, and as such no data exists with respect to university training places for this specialism. The Scottish Funding Council holds data regarding university training places for optometry.
