Cray Dental Care

Updated 1 February 2017

This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 21 March 2016 had been made. We reviewed the practice against three of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe, effective and well-led?

The review was undertaken by a CQC inspector on 19 December 2016.

During our inspection we checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented by looking at a range of documents such as radiation protection records, audits, and policies.  We also spoke with staff on the telephone.

We carried out a follow- up inspection on 19 December 2016 at Cray Dental Care.

We had undertaken an announced comprehensive inspection of this service on 21 March 2016 as part of our regulatory functions where 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. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements and we reviewed the practice against three of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe, effective and well-led?

This was a desktop review and we did not revisit Cray Dental Care as part of this review. We checked whether they had followed their action plan and requested documents from the provider to confirm that they now met the legal requirements.

We found that this practice was now providing safe, effective and well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.
