The AKT is a summative assessment of the knowledge base that underpins general practice in the United Kingdom within the context of the National Health Service and is a key part of general practitioner’s qualifying exams.</p><p>No specific assessment has been made on the adequacy of access to specialist rheumatologists, however the National institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) Quality Standard ‘Rheumatoid arthritis in over 16s’, updated in July 2018, emphasises the need for early for urgent referral to a specialist rheumatologist on suspicion of rheumatoid arthritis within three weeks.</p><p>In May 2018, a new three-year Rheumatoid and Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit was commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership. The Audit aims to improve the quality of care for people living with inflammatory arthritis, collecting information on all new patients over the age of 16 in specialist rheumatology departments with suspected inflammatory arthritis in England and Wales using criteria derived from sources, including the NICE rheumatoid arthritis Quality Standard. This includes assessment against the NICE standard stating that patients with suspected with RA should be seen within three weeks of referral to a rheumatology service.</p><p>More information can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.rheumatology.org.uk/Knowledge/Excellence/Audits" target="_blank">www.rheumatology.org.uk/Knowledge/Excellence/Audits</a></p><p>The findings of the Audit are due to be published in October 2019.

It is for HEIs to work as part of their local health economy to secure training places.</p><p>The Department does not hold information on the level of pre-registration undergraduate nursing places filled at individual HEIs, compared with the number of places they made available in the given period.</p><p>The Office for Students publishes annual data on the number of entrants onto pre-registration nursing undergraduate nursing courses broken down by individual HEIs.

The latest published data from the University and Colleges Admissions Service from February 2019 shows that there has been a 4.5% increase in applicants to nursing or midwifery courses at English universities when compared to this time last year in 2018. However, we know that there is further work to do with the education and healthcare sector to ensure that students continue to apply for these places.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan set out the next step in our mission to make the National Health Service a world class employer and deliver the nursing workforce the NHS needs. To deliver on these commitments the NHS has published on 3 June 2019 an interim People Plan that sets out the action we will take now and over the long term to meet the challenges of nursing supply, including nursing undergraduate supply.</p><p>We recognise, however, that there is more to do which is why the NHS will publish a final People Plan soon after the conclusion of the Spending Review.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 13/06/2019 16:26:48 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

This is the total number of admissions during the period. Patients may have been admitted more than once during the same period, each admission will be counted separately.</p><p>The information requested on placements in different inpatient settings is either not available in the format requested or not held centrally.</p><p>The total number of placements in CAMHS Tier 4 in-patient units commissioned by NHS England in each of the past three years is set out in the following table. These figures represent admissions for patients under the age of 18.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Commissioned Placements</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>4,530</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>4,604</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>4,635</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Whilst the Assuring Transformation data set records the number of people with learning disabilities and/or autism who are inpatient settings, we are unable to provide the information requested as such information can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p>There are a number of steps that NHS England may take following any Care Quality Commission (CQC) visit if an inadequate rating is received. A cross stakeholder quality risk profile (QRP) assessment will be undertaken where relevant parties, including the CQC, NHS England and NHS Improvement, the provider and clinical commissioning group (CCG) would meet to discuss the risks via an assessment tool and discuss them to identify any required action as a consequence.</p><p>As part of that process, there would be clear discussion regarding the areas that led to inadequate ratings and how they relate to patients in the care of that specific facility. A decision would then be taken as to whether there is enough assurance that current actions will address the concerns or whether the level of assurance is such that escalation to a single item quality surveillance group (QSG) or a risk summit with the provider is required.</p><p>As part of this process, there would be discussions around actions required and whether it would be appropriate to provide additional support to facilities in terms of additional staff and specialist staff. An individual assessment would be undertaken of patients including their capacity and ability to consent to any continuation of their care or movement of care.</p><p>If it is determined that the appropriate action is to close the inpatient facility and any patient is to be moved, there would be whole system coordination by NHS England, CCGs, the CQC and the provider, whereby information from the individual risk assessment would inform prioritisation for the move. In terms of guidance given to other stakeholders on these processes there is a Standard Operating Procedure along with guidance on risk summits and QSGs.
