Framework for responding to CQC inspections of GP practices

"From October 2014, the CQC will begin to roll out their new inspection regime to inspect and rate every GP practice in England by April 2016. Practices will be inspected across five key questions, considering the extent to which they are safe, effective, responsive, caring and well-led. They will be rated in one of four categories; outstanding; good; requires improvement; or inadequate."
