Substances “that could be hazardous to health” were left unsecured at Liverpool doctors’ surgeries, an inspection has found.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has said surgeries operated under the Dr Jude’s Practice Group, including Dr Jude's Practice - Riverside and Picton, Fir Tree Medical Centre in Croxteth and Gillmoss Medical Centre, have issues to rectify following inspections earlier this year.
A spokesperson for the group said covid-19, staffing and demand had put pressure on the surgeries. According to reports made available by the CQC, all three surgeries were said to require improvement after visits from officials in March.
