Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced, desk based review of Drs Desai, Lowe and Farooqi (The Old Courthouse Surgery) on 7 October 2016. We found the practice to be good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.
We had previously conducted an announced desk based review of the practice on 26 August 2015. As a result of our findings during that visit, the practice was rated as good for being effective, caring, responsive and well-led, and requires improvement for being safe, which resulted in a rating of good overall. We found that the provider had breached one regulation of the Health and Social Care Act 2008: Regulation 12(1) Safe care and treatment. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection at http://www.cqc.org.uk/provider/1-199720572. The practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to make improvements and meet the legal requirements.
We undertook this desk based review on 7 October 2016 to check that the practice had followed their plan, and to confirm that they had met the legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met previously.
Our key findings on 7 October 2016 were as follows:
