Table 5-5 shows the registration figures for a number of key professions as at 31 December of each year between 2000 and 2009. The table also shows the average annual growth in the number of professionals registered. The total number of registered dentists grew by 1.3% per year, medical interns by 3.3%, and medical practitioners by 1.4%. Clearly, this slow growth is the most important reason why the dire employment situation is not improving. 5.4.2 REGISTRATIONS WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN NURSING COUNCIL The number of nurses registered with the SANC over the period 2000 to 2009 can be seen in Table 5-6. In 2009 there were 221 817 nurses registered with the Council. The number of registered nurses grew steadily from 2003 to 2009 after it had stagnated in the period 2000 to 2002. The average annual growth rate for all nurses was 2.9% over the period 2000 to 2009. Registration figures for pupil and student nurses are only available from 2001 onwards. These registration categories grew from a low base (14 460 in 2001) at an average annual rate of 9.7% between 2001 and 2009. 63
