Updated 27 February 2017

We undertook an announced focused inspection at Littleport Dental Practice on 13 February 2017. The inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our comprehensive inspection on 25 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 one of the owners, the practice manager and a dental nurse. We also reviewed a range of documentation.

During our announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on the 25 October 2016, we found a breach of legal requirements in relation to the Health and Social Care Act 2008. Following this inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to regulation 17- Good Governance.

We undertook this focused inspection to check that the provider had followed their improvement plan and to confirm that they were now complaint with the regulation. This report only covers our findings in relation to this requirement.
