Doctors’ surgery put in special measures

A doctors’ surgery has been placed into special measures by England’s Chief Inspector of General Practice after being rated ‘inadequate’.

The Hereward Practice Group, in Exeter Street, Bourne, was inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on February 4.

In a critical report published yesterday, the CQC said the surgery - which provides care to more than 12,500 patients - must make a number of improvements.
