GP surgeries across Nottinghamshire say they have been making improvements after being criticised by inspectors. Five practices are currently rated 'inadequate' or 'requires improvement' following their latest visits by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) - the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England.
A total of three GP surgeries were given an 'inadequate' rating, while a further two were deemed to require improvement. Across England as a whole, a total of 51 GPs surgeries were branded inadequate, with a further 251 deemed to require improvement on February 1.
Some of the underperforming Nottinghamshire practices told Nottinghamshire Live steps had already been made to address issues raised by the CQC. One pointed to a recent visit by inspectors that found progress had been made.
