West Yorkshire-based MRI scanning service rated inadequate by watchdog

A Yorkshire-based MRI scanning service has been issued with a warning notice to make “significant improvements” after inspectors rated it inadequate.

 

The CQC said it had “concerns” over the governance process at InPhase Mobile MRI Services Ltd which affected patient care.

 

The company, which provides mobile scanning to NHS and private patients, said it was working to correct the CQC’s concerns.

 

As a result of concerns raised during the inspection, the CQC said a warning notice was issued, which said InPhase needed to make “significant improvements to its governance processes”, adding that the firm did have “enough staff to keep patients safe from avoidable harm and to provide the right care and treatment.

 

In a statement, InPhase Mobile MRI Services Ltd said it was “extremely disappointed with the inspection outcome” and that it “put patients at the heart of everything we do”.

 

It added “We have raised our own concerns with regard to the fragmented and incomplete nature of the inspection process and we hope to be re-inspected in full within the next three months as per the advised CQC criteria.”
