2nd October 2017 - 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 comprehensive inspection at Lawton House Surgery, formerly known as 'Dr Dutton and Partners' on 4 December 2014. The full comprehensive report on the December 2014 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for Lawton House Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

At our previous inspection on 4 December 2014 we rated the practice as ‘good’ overall but as ‘requires improvement’ for safety as we identified two breaches of regulation. This was because improvements were needed to the recruitment of staff as the recruitment records did not demonstrate that all necessary checks were undertaken to demonstrate staff suitability for their roles. Improvements were also needed to the fire safety systems at the premises because fire safety equipment was not properly maintained and suitable for its purpose.

This inspection was a desk-based review carried out on 10 February 2017 to confirm that the provider had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches. This report covers our findings in relation to that and additional improvements made since our last inspection.

The findings of this inspection were that the provider had taken action to meet the requirements of the last inspection and the service is now rated as good for providing safe services. Our key findings were as follows:

  • Patients were protected against the risks associated with unsuitable staffing because the provider had a system in place to ensure that all required pre-employment checks were obtained.

  • Patients were protected against the risks associated with unsafe equipment because fire safety equipment was in place and maintained.

We also found that the provider had made a number of improvements where we had identified these. These included;

  • Increased accountability in relation to stock control and storage of prescriptions pads.

  • A more robust system for checking and recording that emergency medication and equipment are suitable for use.

  • A review of the policies and procedures available for staff to ensure they have access to the information they require.

  • The provision of a complaints policy and procedure for patients to refer to.
