Merger of Croydon PCT's provider services arm and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust
Croydon PCT is proposing to transfer its provider services arm (Croydon Community Health Services) to Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust.
Consistent with its interim merger guidelines the CCP will examine the costs and benefits of the proposed merger in order to ascertain whether it is consistent with Principles 9 and 10 of the Principles and Rules for Cooperation and Competition. In doing so, the CCP will consider the effect of the transaction on patient choice and competition for community health services in Croydon or a wider area.
The CCP welcomes submissions in writing from interested individuals and organisations on this issue or on any other matter relevant to the CCP's assessment of this transaction under the Principles and Rules for Cooperation and Competition. To make a submission please email [email protected].
The closing date for submissions is 5 March 2010.
