We carried out this follow up inspection on 28 July 2017. This followed an announced comprehensive inspection on 23 March 2017 carried out as part of our regulatory functions, where a breach of a legal requirement was found.
After the comprehensive inspection the practice wrote to us to say what actions they would take to meet legal requirements in relation to the breach.
We revisited Dentcross Kidbrooke Village Dental Surgery and checked whether they had followed their action plan. The practice had been served a requirement notice for issues relating to well led. We reviewed the practice against this key question which they were in breach of.
