What is the average annual study budget available for resident doctors in Wales who are undertaking training or professional development?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 11/12/2025

As set out in my response to your written question WQ97783, the current annual study budget for individual resident doctors is £600.

As the study leave policy states, residents are able to roll over any unspent funding for a one-year period into the following year. This provides flexibility and ensures resident doctors can effectively use their study leave budget.
