Why we carried out this assessment

We carried out a targeted assessment of the responsive key question. Targeted assessments enable us to focus on certain key questions to explore particular aspects of care.

How we carried out the assessment.

This assessment was carried out without a site visit

This included:

• Conducting staff interviews using video conferencing.
• Requesting evidence from the provider.

Our findings

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

• what we found when we inspected
• information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services and
• information from the provider, patients, the public and other organisations.

We found that:

• Patients could access care and treatment in a timely way.
• National GP patient survey data showed higher than average patient satisfaction scores, particularly regarding telephone access.
• Complaints were used to drive improvement.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
