Exclusive Almost three quarters of GPs believe the CQC inspection process is not an effective way of identifying poorly performing practices, and a similiar number believe it is not a fair way of assessing practices? quality, a Pulse survey conducted in the wake of the regulator?s report on GP inspections reveals.

A snapshot poll of some 286 GPs, conducted yesterday by Pulse and run in association with and featured on ITN?s News at Ten, found most have little confidence in the CQC process.

Some 74% of GPs polled by Pulse said they do not believe the CQC process as it stands is a fair way of assessing the quality of GP practices, while 70% said it was not an effective way of identifying poor performers. The GPC has said it would challenge the CQC?s portrayal of GP practices and negative media coverage, which 95% of GPs said had resulted in the majority of GPs being unfairly blamed for the failings of a small minority.
