Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced focussed inspection on 7 June 2016. This was to follow up our comprehensive inspection of the practice on 29 September 2015, when we found a breach of legal requirements, relating to the safe management of vaccines. We served a requirement notice relating to the breach. The practice’s overall rating had been good; the individual rating for providing safe services was requires improvement.
Following the inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what it would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach of regulations 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, relating to Safe care and treatment.
We undertook this focussed inspection on 7 June 2016 to check that it had implemented its action plan and to confirm that it now met the legal requirements. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and to the improvements needed to provide a responsive service. We found that the practice had taken appropriate action to meet the requirements of the notice and have amended the practice’s rating for providing safe services to good.
