We carried out a focused inspection of Dr Parkash Photay – Midfield Parade on 7 December 2017 and 14 February 2018.
The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental adviser.
We carried out the inspection to follow up concerns we originally identified during a comprehensive inspection at this practice on 23 June 2017 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions.
At a comprehensive inspection we always ask the following five questions to get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment:
- Is it safe?
- Is it effective?
- Is it caring?
- Is it responsive to people’s needs?
- Is it well-led?
When one or more of the five questions is 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 areas where improvement was required.
At the previous comprehensive inspection we found the registered provider was providing caring and responsive care in accordance with relevant regulations.
We judged the practice was not providing safe, effective or well-led care in accordance with Regulations 17, 18 and 19 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

The Commission is considering its range of enforcement powers to secure improvements and to protect people against the risk of unsafe care and treatment.
