How we carried out the assessment
This assessment was carried remotely. This included:

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.
