avoiding duplication wherever possible. It is important that commissioners engage with and know their local contacts. Existing good practice: All parties will be transparent and we will ensure information governance and data protection principles are adhered to without exception and we will ensure GP practices are fully sighted on this. Commissioners should actively and effectively communicate with each other and CQC to ensure GP practices are not overburdened e.g. to avoid the situation whereby a commissioner contract visit overlaps with a CQC inspection. Commissioners should keep in regular contact with CQC throughout the year and more targeted and regular communication on the run up to inspection or annual review. Commissioners should actively engage with and support GP Practices pre and post inspection.
