We undertook a follow up focused inspection of Mr Ashruf Peer Bicester on 15 August 2023.
This inspection was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to confirm that the practice was now meeting legal requirements. The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who had remote access to a specialist dental advisor.
We had previously undertaken a comprehensive inspection of Mr Ashruf Peer Bicester on 17 April 2023 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions.
We found the registered provider was not providing well-led care and was in breach of regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. You can read our report of that inspection by selecting the 'all reports' link for Mr Ashruf Peer Bicester on our website www.cqc.org.uk.
When 1 or more of the 5 questions are not met we require the service to make improvements and send us an action plan. We then inspect again after a reasonable interval, focusing on the area where improvement was required.
As part of this inspection, we asked:
• Is it well-led?
Our findings were:
Are services well-led?
We found this practice was providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations. The provider had made improvements in relation to the regulatory breach/es we found at our inspection on 17 April 2023
