The Competition Commission Market Study has now commenced. Information about this can be accessed on the Competition Commission site which is here http://www.competition-commission.org.uk/our-work/private-healthcare-market-investigation

The initial issues paper from the Competition Commission has defined certain potential areas of “harm”.

The LCA has been approached by the Commission with a series of questions and has submitted a report. For details of the report click here…

The LCA is committed to the quality agenda, the independence for consultants and choice and the highest possible standard for patients. We will be working with the Competition Commission and also through FIPO to promote these ideals in the best possible manner.
