28th December 2017 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at South Green Surgery on 14 June 2017. The overall rating for the practice was good, with requires improvement for well-led. The full comprehensive report on the June 2017 inspection can be found by selecting the ‘all reports’ link for South Green Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 28 December 2017 to confirm that the practice had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breaches in regulations that we identified in our previous inspection on 14 June 2017. This report covers our findings in relation to those requirements and also additional improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

Our key findings were as follows:

• The organisation of formal governance arrangements including the systems for assessing and monitoring risks was greatly improved.
• Although the practice had identified more patients who were carers, this could be improved further. Only 0.7% of the patient population had been identified as being a carer.
• The practice had implemented a system to monitor the use of blank prescription forms and pads.
• The practice had improved the security of the storage of external clinical waste.
• The practice had put in place an action plan following their patient survey and posted this on their website.

However, there was one area of practice where the provider still needs to make improvements.

The provider should:

• Continue to improve the identification of carers on their register.

At our previous inspection on 14 June 2017, we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing well led services as some of the governance systems required strengthening and reorganising. At this inspection we found that this was much improved therefore they are now rated as good for well-led.
