15th November 2017 - During a routine inspection
We carried out this announced inspection on 15 November 2017 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. We planned the inspection to check whether the registered provider was meeting the legal requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations. The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental adviser and an NHS contracts manager as an observer.
We told the NHS England area team that we were inspecting the practice. They provided information which we took into account.
