Independent healthcare sector sees growth stall

Hospitals delivering private acute healthcare services must meet the challenges of a static market going forward following an absence of real spending growth in 2010. This is the conclusion of the latest analysis from Laing & Buisson. Published last month, the 2011-2012 edition of Laing’s Healthcare Market Review claims that revenues generated by independent hospitals providing medical treatments in the UK remained unchanged in real terms over the year at £3.84bn.
