During an assessment under our new approach
Date of Assessment: 29 July 26. Mount Road Surgery is a GP practice and delivers services to approximately 7,917 people under a contract held with NHS England. According to the latest available data, the ethnic make-up of the service area is approximately 42.8% White, 25.1% Asian, 5.5% Mixed, 22.2% Black and 4.3% Other. Information published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows deprivation within the service population group is in the 1st decile (1 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the service population is relative to others.
This was a focused assessment. We undertook this assessment due to the length of time since our last assessment. We assessed 10 quality statements from across all 5 key questions. This assessment considered the demographics of the people using the service, the context the service was working within and how this impacted service delivery. Where relevant, further commentary is provided in the quality statements section of this report.
