Why we carried out this assessment

This inspection was a targeted assessment of the key question of responsive.

How we carried out the assessment

This assessment was carried remotely. This included:

  • Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing.
  • Requesting evidence from the provider.

Our findings

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • what we found when we carried the assessment
  • information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services and
  • information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.

We found that:

  • Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way.
  • National GP patient survey results relating to access were above national averages, and the provider continued to monitor access data.
  • The provider had implemented systems and processes as a result of patient feedback.
  • Complaints were satisfactorily handled in a timely manner.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
