During an inspection looking at part of the service
Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced inspection of this practice on 8 January 2015. Breaches of legal requirements were found. After the comprehensive inspection the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the following legal requirements set out in the Health and Social Care Act (HSCA) 2008:
- Regulation 21 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 Requirements relating to workers (which corresponds to Regulation 19 of the HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014);
We undertook this focused inspection to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Oldwell Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.
Our key findings were as follows:
- The practice had addressed all of the issues identified during the previous inspection.
- Appropriate recruitment checks had been carried out for the most recent members of staff and there were arrangements in place to ensure the GPs and nurses were registered with the relevant professional bodies.
