Private medical group in debt talks

PRIVATE medicine chain General Healthcare Group (GHG), which has five hospitals in Scotland, is in talks with lenders over a £2 billion debt pile that falls due in October, according to a report.

The situation should not affect the operation of the hospitals because the property company and the operating company, which largely trades as BMI Hospitals, are structured as separate companies.

BMI Healthcare has 65 private hospitals across England, Scotland and Wales plus four private treatment centres.
