Archived: SDC Harrison - Dental Surgery

Updated 11 February 2016

This inspection was planned to check whether the practice was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

We carried out a review of this service on 9 December 2015. This review was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the surgery after our comprehensive inspection on 10 June 2015 had been made. We reviewed the surgery against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service safe? This is because the service was not previously meeting one of the legal requirements under the safe domain.

At the previous, comprehensive inspection on 10 June 2015 we found that the surgery was not safe because some guidance within the legionella risk assessment dated January 2010 had not been followed.

The review was led by a CQC inspector who had access to remote advice from a specialist advisor.

During our review, we checked that the provider’s action plan had been implemented. We reviewed a range of documents provided by SDC Harrison - Dental Surgery. 

Updated 11 February 2016

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this service on 10 June 2015 as part of our regulatory functions where a breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection, the surgery wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach.

We followed up on our inspection of 10 June 2015 to check that the surgery had implemented their plan and to confirm that they now met the legal requirements. We carried out a desk based review on 9 December 2015 to check whether the practice had taken action to address a breach of Regulation 12(2)(h) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements. We have not revisited SDC Harrison - Dental Surgery of this review because SDC Harrison - Dental Surgery were able to demonstrate that they were meeting the standards without the need for a visit.

Our findings were:

Are services safe?

We found that this practice was providing safe care in accordance with the relevant regulations.
