A Cwmbran doctors surgery has been hit with a coronavirus improvement notice for failing to follow Welsh Government regulations.
Llanyravon Surgery on Llanyravon Way was handed the improvement notice yesterday, February 1, for failing to undertake a coronavirus specific risk assessment.
The surgery, which was temporary closed at the start of the new year due to high levels of staff shortages, has 14 days to make the necessary changes.
If the necessary changes are not made, then the surgery could be subject to further enforcement action.
But because the surgery is used to “provide essential public services” it will not be issued with a closure notice.
Llanyravon Surgery has until February 15 to make the necessary changes.
A second inspection will take place after time has been given to implement changes, at which point either the improvement notice is dropped, or further action could be taken to ensure compliance.
In normal circumstances Torfaen council has the option to issue a closure notice if the venue fails to comply with rules after being issued with an improvement notice. But these rules don’t apply to essential infrastructure or services.
