15th August 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced focused inspection of this practice on 15 August 2016, to check compliance with requirement notices we had previously issued following our inspection on 5 January 2016. During our inspection on 5 January 2016, continuing breaches of legal requirements were found and we issued requirement notices.

The continuing breaches we identified when we carried out the inspection on 5 January 2016 were in relation to:

  • Regulation 19 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Fit and proper persons employed.

  • Regulation 12 HSCA 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Care and treatment.

This report only covers our findings in relation to these requirements. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Castletown Medical Centre, on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

Our key findings were as follows:

  • The provider had taken action which demonstrated their intent to comply with the requirement notice we issued, regarding their failure to do what was reasonably practical to ensure that all GPs working in the practice had undergone suitable pre-employment checks.

  • The provider had complied with the requirement notice we issued regarding their failure to provide a supply of oxygen for use in an emergency.

There were also areas of practice where the provider should make improvements:

  • Carry out regular audits of the practice’s infection control arrangements. The practice’s infection control lead should complete additional training to help them carry out this role effectively.
