This week, CQC has published a further 81 reports on the quality of care provided by GP practices that have been inspected by specialist teams of inspectors.
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s GP practices are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.
The Chief Inspector of General Practice has found another 59 GP practices to be Good, five to be Outstanding, 12 to Require Improvement and four to be Inadequate following recent inspections by the Care Quality Commission. One report was a focused inspections which are not rated.
One GP practice had demonstrated sufficient improvements for their overall rating to change from Requires Improvement to Good and another exited Special Measures and received a new rating of Requires Improvement.
The total number of practices rated Outstanding is now 127. The total number of practices that have exited Special Measures is now 33.
Professor Steve Field, Chief Inspector of General Practice, said:
“After more than 3,000 inspections we have found that most care is good – with over 100 practices now rated Outstanding. That means that over 1 million patients in England currently receive care from practices which we have rated Outstanding. What’s enormously encouraging is that our inspections are driving improvement – 90% of practices that we have re-inspected have improved since last October. Through their hard work and dedication, practices are making positive changes to the care they deliver.
“There is still too much poor care. Since we began inspecting GP practices in October 2014 we have found over 100 practices to be Inadequate. While this is a minority, this still amounts to over half a million patients in England who were not receiving the basic standards of care that they should be able to expect from their GP practice. I am glad to say that we have increasingly found that most practices that are placed in special measures use the support that is on offer to meet those standards.”
