Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 12 May 2016. A breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to:
- Regulation 19 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 Fit and proper persons employed.
- Regulation 12 HSCA (RA) Regulations 2014 Safe care and treatment.
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 Grassendale Medical Centre on our website at www.cqc.org.uk
Our key findings were as follows:
- The practice had addressed the issues identified during the previous inspection. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks had been completed for all necessary staff.
- The practice had carried out health and safety risk assessments and completed actions identified.
- Monitoring systems had been improved to manage and mitigate safety risks.
