28th July 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

On the 14 December 2015, we carried out a comprehensive inspection at Newport Surgery, under its previous name of Dr Lort and Partners. Overall the practice was rated as good, with effective, caring responsive and well-led all rated as good.

It was rated as requires improvement for providing safe services. This was because there weren't suitable procedures to track prescription stationery through the practice, and this wasn't always stored securely. In relation to this, the practice was issued with a requirement notice for improvement. We also made advisory comments relating to the security of the arrangements for collecting medicines at the post-office collection point as well as noting that there was no risk assessment of medicines stored in the unlocked treatment room or in relation to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health.

After this inspection the practice sent us an action plan that identified how they would achieve the  improvements and the date when they would be completed. We then carried out an announced focused inspection at Newport Surgery on 28th July 2016 to check that the necessary improvements had been made.

Our key findings across all the areas we inspected were as follows:

  • There were suitable arrangements to track prescription stationery through the practice. This was stored securely.
  • A robust risk assessment and remedial actions had been carried out in relation to the medicines that were collected at the post office.
  • Medicines were no longer stored in the unlocked treatment room.
  • A risk assessment had been carried out in relation to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health.
