Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out an announced focussed, desk based inspection at Lichfield Grove Surgery on 29 September 2016. We found the practice to be good for providing safe services and it is rated as good overall.
We had previously conducted an announced comprehensive inspection of the practice on 17 September 2015. As a result of our findings during the visit, the practice was rated as good for being effective, caring, responsive and well led, and requires improvement for being safe, which resulted in a rating of good overall. We found that the provider had breached one regulation of the Health and Social Care Act 2008; Regulation 12(1)(2)(a)(b) safe care and treatment.
The practice wrote to us to tell us what they would do to make improvements and meet the legal requirements. We undertook this focussed inspection to check that the practice had followed their plan, and to confirm that they had met the legal requirements.
This report only covers our findings in relation to those areas where requirements had not been met. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Lichfield Grove Surgery on our website at https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-559057124/reports.
Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:
