I refer to your information request dated 27 May 2023 made under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act). You have requested:
“the minimum grade that was admitted into the BDS programme for 2022 & 2023 via HSFY
rural pathway & how many people applied through the HSFY rural pathway, excluding those
that applied through other pathways (i.e. only applied as rural).”
Please find below the information you have requested, subject to the following comments:
•
The number of applications refers to those who were confirmed eligible for Rural (only) and
assessed under this category.
•
Applicants who submitted applications under Rural but were found to be ineligible and
removed from the category are not included in these numbers.
