Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice
We carried out follow up focussed inspection of North Chelmsford NHS Healthcare Centre on 17 February 2015.
This inspection was a follow up to our previous inspection of the practice on the 13 July 2013. At that inspection, we found that the practice did not have effective recruitment procedures.
Following that inspection the provider sent us a plan of the actions it intended to take. We inspected to check that the actions had been implemented. We found that the provider had in place procedures and processes for the recruitment of staff.
