This report follows the May 2002 survey into training and use of staff. Here we present a review of staffing levels and status of implementation at the end of December 2003. It also reviews the progress of programme expansion and looks at the new model of service delivery through the radiology skill mix. Finally, it updates the 1998 information on assessment clinics, evaluating the new data against the Forrest Report and the guidelines for screening assessments.
