Overall inspection

Updated 20 June 2022

We undertook a follow-up focused inspection of The Manor Dental Surgery on 24 May 2022.

This inspection was carried out to review, in detail, the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements.

The inspection was carried out by a Care Quality Commission, (CQC), inspector who was supported by a second inspector and a specialist dental advisor.

At our inspection on 20 December 2021 we found the registered provider was not providing well-led care and was in breach of Regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

You can read our report of that inspection by selecting the 'all reports' link for The Manor Dental Surgery on our website www.cqc.org.uk.

As part of this inspection we asked:

  • Is it well-led?

When one or more of the five questions are not met, we require the service to make improvements and send us an action plan. We then inspect again after a reasonable interval, focusing on the area where improvement was required.

Are services well-led?

We found this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.

The provider had made improvements in relation to the regulatory breach we found at our inspection on 20 December 2021
