Blood Compliance Reports (BCR) 2017 September Update

[jennyfullthorpe]

If inspections are due to start in October how much notice will be given?
Will all sites due for inspection be notified for the year ahead or is notification an on going process?
Will there be a clear process deeming the site to be in general compliance as before?

[Stephen-Grayson]

The notice of inspection to sites will be given by the allocated inspector on a rolling, per site basis.
The notice period is determined by each inspector and may differ from site to site. Whilst typically 2 weeks notice has been given historically, you should note that short notice and unannounced inspections have also been used in the past, and may still be used, on a per site basis moving forward.
Please refer to the blog referenced above for further information.
As explained above, we do not intend to issue a letter with a determined compliance status for those sites not inspected.
