Partner must be responsible for CQC standards, says GPC.

The article reports that the General Practitioners Committee (GPC) has called for GPs to register themselves legally responsible for complying with Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards. The GPC said that because the role included legal responsibility for monitoring compliance with CQC essential standards after registration, it should fall to a partner. GPC chairman Laurence Buckman said the GPC has been helping the CQC for the past year to improve the registration process for GPs.
