alternative view?7 Apr 2018 15:25
question?
could spire buy bmi with a pre-agreed deal to sell off a certain number of hospital sites when duplicates and overlaps occur?
my thinking is that the bmi chain might be too big for any one of the private chains to absob into its portfolio, but broken up this could be done quite easily.
hca, spire , nuffield, ramsey, care uk, one hospital group. They all might be interested.
For my money though personally i think bmi will end up in the hands of private equity with a five year view to make it a likely proposition for listing there after.
