We undertook an announced focused inspection of Kenneth Ng Surgery Limited on 21 March 2017. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 11 October 2016 had been made.
We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service well-led?
During our inspection we spoke with the owner, the associate dentist and two dental nurses. We reviewed a range of documentation and checked the decontamination room.

Are services Well-led?
We found that this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Key findings
- The provider had failed to address many of the shortfalls we had identified at our previous inspection. However, immediately following this second inspection the provider sent us sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the practice was now adequately well-led.
There were areas where the provider could make improvements and should:
- Embed newly implemented improvements into the practice and ensure they are sustained in the long- term
