19th October 2016 - 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 of this practice on 28 April 2016. Breaches of Regulatory requirements were found during that inspection within the safe domain. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice sent us an action plan detailing what they would do to meet the regulatory responsibilities in relation to the following:

• To ensure that the practice had a system for securing and tracking the use of prescription forms used by the practice.
• To ensure the practice had a system for addressing issues identified in the infection control audit.
• To ensure that the practice had in place a system that correctly monitored all significant events that occurred in the practice.

We undertook this focused inspection on 19 October 2016 to check that the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met regulatory requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for St. Andrews Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

This report should be read in conjunction with the last report published in July 2016. Our key findings across the areas we inspected were as follows:-

• We saw evidence that prescriptions forms were securely stored at all times and that there was an effective system in place that tracked these forms from entry into the practice to their subsequent use.
• We saw evidence that there was an effective system in place that recorded and monitored the actions taken to address issues found during infection control audits.
• We saw evidence that the practice had a system in place that recorded each significant event and monitored how this was progressed and discussed within the practice.
