Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 18 February 2016. We set a requirement in relation to Safe Care and Treatment. The practice sent in an action plan informing us about what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to the following;
- The practice must make arrangements to monitor out of date controlled drugs in line with regulations until they are disposed of.
- Put in place a robust process for monitoring the security of medicines at the remote collection points.
They told us these issues would be addressed by 31 April 2016 and provided us with evidence to show they had taken the action to address the concerns.
We undertook a desk top review on 18 July 2016 to make a judgement about whether their actions had addressed the requirements.
The overall rating for the practice is good. You can read our previous report by selecting the ‘all reports' link for on our website at www.cqc.org.uk
