Yesterday, CQC published inspection reports on 72 GP practices, of those practices 90% were rated as ‘Good’.
Professor Steve Field, Chief Inspector of General Practice said: ‘We know that the vast majority of England’s GPs are providing a service which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. If that is what we find on inspection – we give it a rating of Good, and I congratulate the GPs and staff in these practices.’
Of the 72 practices inspected, three were rated as ‘Outstanding’ and four were rated as ‘Requires improvement.’
