Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 3 March 2016. A breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach of Regulation 12.
We undertook a focussed inspection on 18 October 2016 to check that they had followed their action plan and to confirm they now met their legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.
