The CQC has published the latest reports into the service provided by GP practices

The Care Quality Commission has published a further 63 reports on the quality of care provided by GP practices inspected under its new approach.
Following the inspections last year, the CQC's specialist teams found 53 of the practices have been rated as Good, one has been rated as Outstanding, seven have been rated Requires Improvement and two have been rated Inadequate. 
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s GP practices are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.   
The majority of England's GPs are providing a service which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. Patients should be able to expect high quality and consistent care from every GP practice. Where the CQC want to see improvement, the practice is expected to take the necessary steps to address the issue, and the CQC will return to see that those improvements have been made.
