Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We previously carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this practice on 8 March 2016. A breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would carry out the necessary actions to meet legal requirements in relation to;

  • Regulation 12 Health & Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 – safe care and treatment.

From the inspection on 8 March 2016, the practice were told they must:

  • Ensure that the roles of non-clinical staff, including those that carry out chaperoning, are risk assessed to determine whether criminal records checks are required.

We undertook a desk top based focused inspection at Harrold Medical Practice on 27 June 2016 to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met legal standards and requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to this requirement found to be requiring improvement. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting 'all reports' link for Harrold Medical Practice on our website at www.cqc.org.uk

We found that on the 27 June 2016 the practice now had improved systems in place.

  • Practice specific protocols and procedures had been developed and implemented to manage risks associated with non-clinical staff performing chaperoning duties.
  • Risk assessments were undertaken to assess the need for criminal records checks where appropriate.
