During an inspection looking at part of the service
Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
This is a Desktop review of Dr Nityananda Hati-Kakoty for one area within the key question safe.
We found the practice now to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.
The practice was previously inspected on 21 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, one area was identified as requiring improvement, as the practice was not meeting the legislation at that time:
Regulation 17 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 Respecting and involving people who use services. We found that the registered person did not have suitable arrangements in place to ensure the dignity, privacy and independence of all patients, or to ensure all patients could participate in making decisions relating to their care or treatment. This was in breach of regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010, which corresponds to regulation Regulation 17 (1) (a) (b) (2) (a) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
During the review of information provided by the practice on 23 June 2017 we were provided with evidence which demonstrated Dr Nityananda Hati-Kakoty is now meeting the requirements of Regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010.
