A TAKEOVER of London GP practices by US healthcare privateers is likely to be challenged in court, union Unite revealed today.
Campaigners, including members of medical union Doctors in Unite, have already crowdfunded more than £40,000 towards a judicial review aimed at reversing the recent takeover of 37 surgeries by Operose, the UK subsidiary of US health insurance giant Centene.
They are now waiting to hear if all the legal hurdles have been cleared and whether the case can proceed on the basis of the lack of transparency surrounding the takeover.
