I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, which I received on 3rd February 2024 for information about the following:

I would like to know the total number of SAS doctors in England. I would like to know the number of SAS doctors in England on the 2021 contracts (Specialty Doctor 2021 and Specialist 2021). I would like to know the number of SAS doctors in England on old, closed, legacy contracts.

Response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHS Business Services.

However it is possible that the General Medical Council (GMC) may hold some or all of the information you require. They can be contacted at:
