The Home Office does not set stop and search targets<\/p>
Stop and search can only be carried out when legal thresholds have been met, and as such setting central targets for the number of searches would not be appropriate.<\/p>
We are not aware of targets being set by individual forces.

General practice is where most patients with musculoskeletal conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are likely to be managed, and the condition is identified as a key area of clinical knowledge in the Royal College of General Practitioners\u2019 Advanced Knowledge Test (AKT) content guide. 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\u2019s qualifying exams.<\/p>
No specific assessment has been made on the adequacy of access to specialist rheumatologists, however the National institute for Health and Care Excellence\u2019s (NICE) Quality Standard \u2018Rheumatoid arthritis in over 16s\u2019, 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>
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>
