Update regarding Sothall Medical Centre’s CQC rating

Posted on August 17th, 2021

We have received the following email communication from the Quality  Care Commission regarding the CQC Good rating at Sothall Medical Centre;-

Dear Sothall Medical Centre

We suspended our routine inspection programme in March 2020 in response to Covid-19 and do not intend to resume it for the immediate future. We have continued to use a mix of onsite and off-site monitoring to ensure the public have assurance as to the safety and quality of the care they receive. As we emerge from the pandemic we are further developing our monitoring approach. In accordance with this approach we carried out a review of the data available to us about Sothall Medical Centre on 05-08-2021.

We have not found evidence that we need to carry out an inspection or reassess our rating at this stage. This could change at any time if we receive new information. We will continue to monitor data about this service.

Please note, this does not amount to an assessment of the rating for this service under section 46 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

We will add this text to our website to inform the public about this outcome.
