In October 2014 the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published the Private Healthcare Market Investigation Order 2014, which requires private hospitals to publish certain information about their referring clinicians. Bupa Cromwell Hospital takes compliance with the Order seriously, and the required information is included below.

Please click on the tabs below for further details.
