A medical practice in Bolton has been found to be in breach of health regulations after inspectors expressed concerns that a lack of 'failsafe' management processes and routine reviews could be 'potentially unsafe' for patients.
The Littlelever Health Centre 2, on Mytham Road in Little Lever, was given a 'Requires Improvement' rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection at the premises in February. Since April 2020, the medical practice has been renamed after sole and lead GP Dr Thirrupathy Subramanian.
The CQC report identified that systems managing safety and medicines ‘were not failsafe’. It also highlighted how meetings to monitor and discuss safety concerns were ‘not embedded’ into the practice.
