£169m profit for cataract operations
Money that should be put into the NHS, not shareholders pockets
Money that should be put into the NHS, not shareholders pockets
Private equity looting the NHS.
Five firms - Newmedica, Optegra, SpaMedica, CHEC and ACES made £169m profit from cataract contracts.
Profit margin for NHS work is 32% to 43%. Highly leveraged firms. Public purse pays their interest charges.
