More than a dozen GP surgeries in Merseyside received either an 'inadequate' or 'requires improvement' rating in their latest inspections.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. The CQC carries out inspections of health and care services across the country and gives them one of four overall ratings - outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate.
One GP surgery in our region received the “inadequate” rating at their latest inspection, while a further 15 were deemed to require improvement, as of February 1, the most recent date available.
