Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is a focused desk top review of evidence supplied by Dr Tun & Partners for one area within the key question safe.

We found the practice to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.

The practice was previously inspected on 19 November 2014. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. At that inspection, the practice was rated good overall. However, within the key question safe, staffing was identified as requires improvement, as the practice was not meeting the legislation at that time; Regulation 13 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 Management of medicines:

  • The practice did not follow current guidance when prescribing hypnotic medicines and did not have systems in place to appropriately prescribe and use hypnotic medication.

The practice has submitted to CQC, a range of documents which demonstrate they are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 13 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010.
