Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

This is a desk top review of evidence supplied by Dr Sunil Maiti, also known as Richmond Medical, for areas within the key question Safe. This review was completed on 16 November 2016.

Upon review of the documentation provided by the practice, we found the practice to be good in providing safe services. Overall, the practice is rated as good.

The practice was previously inspected on 7 January 2015. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (HSCA). At that inspection, the practice was rated good overall. However, within the key question safe several areas were identified as requires improvement , as the practice was not meeting the legislation for two key areas:

  • Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, Safe care and treatment

  • Regulation 19 of the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 Fit and proper persons employed

At the inspection in January 2016 we found that the registered person did not assess and mitigate against risks including securing prescription paper and ensuring all staff received appropriate training and appraisal to ensure the health and safety of service users whilst receiving the care or treatment. We also found that appropriate employment checks were not consistently carried out prior to staff commencing work as the provider could not evidence that disclosure and barring service (DBS) checks had been carried out for GPs.

Other areas identified where the practice was advised they should make improvements included:

  • Improving the availability of non-urgent appointments.
  • Reviewing and updating the business continuity plan to take into account information technology based eventualities.
  • Improving the sample drop off procedure to ensure the samples are kept in a safe place out of access to the public.

The practice supplied an action plan and a range of documents which demonstrated they are now meeting the requirements of Regulation 12 Staff Care and Treatment and Regulation 19 Fit and Proper Persons Employed of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The practice also demonstrated improvement in the other areas identified in the report from January 2016 which did not affect ratings. These improvements have been documented in the well-led section, showing how the registered person has demonstrated continuous improvement since the inspection in January 2016
