CQC DIRECT MONITORING 2021

The CQC suspended their routine inspection programme in March 2020 in response to Covid-19 and do not intend to resume it for the immediate future. They have continued to use a mix of onsite and off-site monitoring to ensure the public have assurance as to the safety and quality of the care they receive. As we emerge from the pandemic the CQC are further developing their monitoring approach. In accordance with this approach the CQC carried out a review of the data available to them about The Dow Surgery on 10/06/2021 The CQC have not found evidence that they need to carry out an inspection or reassess our rating at this stage. Please note, this does not amount to an assessment of the rating for this service under section 46 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.​ "We carried out a review of the data available to us about The Dow Surgery on 10/06/2021.
