Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire taken over by Circle Healthcare in 2012


A private company, listed on the stock market, has been given the right to deliver a full range of hospital services for the first time in the history of the NHS, reigniting a debate about the use of business in the health sector. Circle Healthcare, a John Lewis-style partnership valued at around £120m, will manage the debt-laden Hinchingbrooke hospital in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, from February 2011 after the government signed off on a decade-long contract.
