Has anyone else observed a decrease in physicist staffing at their radonc clinic, as in a decrease in the number of physicists per machine? (In the USA in particular.)

I have experienced it at a clinic where the number of physicists per machine decreased from 1 to 2/3. With special procedures, it can be challenging to balance clinic coverage and projects especially when vacation is considered.

Though, an ACR surveyor remarked to me that this is a trend they are seeing.

Has anyone else here experienced this?
