§ Alan JohnsonThe Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) allocated funds for the first time in 2003–04 to institutions to improve retention based on the profile of their students and an assessment of the risks of students failing to complete their studies. The HEFCE does not publish sensitive student or financial data at course level for individual institutions, but the institutions set out below received part of their funding from this exercise as a result of the profile of their medical students. Across these institutions, some 480 full-time medical students attracted a total of £126,092 in additional funding from the improving 507W retention pot because they were under 21 years of age and their points score was less than the equivalent of 3 Cs at A level.
