Answer -

(1-4) NSW Health supports the application of apprenticeship, cadetship and traineeships in relevant workforce areas to build and strengthen a skilled workforce for health services. Local health districts and speciality health networks determine the make-up of their workforces to provide clinical services, and manage workforce strategies and opportunities for such training positions using localised data structures. As such, central data at the NSW Ministry of Health level is not available for these identified workforce groups.
