The output from the higher education institutions in health-related fields of study can be seen in Table 5-10. If all the health-related fields of study are considered, the total output from the HET sector grew on average by 3.4% at National Diploma level, at 6.3% at first three-year BDegree level and at 5.1% at first four-year degree level. The field with the highest growth was Basic Health Care Sciences. Clinical Health Sciences (which more or less represents the output of entry-level medical degrees) grew only moderately – the number of four-year degrees increased by only 3.1% per year. 66
