The NHS has settled a legal dispute with private healthcare group Virgin Care for an undisclosed amount.
The Labour Party said it was “scandalous” that the NHS
had to defend a legal battle with the company, which is part of Richard Branson’s business empire. It also called on the Department of Health to disclose details of the settlement.
Virgin Care sued the NHS last year after it lost out on an £82m contract to provide children’s health services across Surrey, citing concerns over “serious flaws” in the way the contract was awarded.
