EDINBURGH, Nov 15 (Reuters) - A British public health service (NHS) contract worth 330 million pounds ($422.47 million) to outsourcing firm Capita is not being withdrawn, after a failure to communicate with patients efficiently, a source familiar with the situation said.
Shares in Capita were down around 8 percent on Thursday after a media report said Capita was in danger of losing the contract.
The contract to inform patients of cervical screening dates is currently loss-making, the source said. ($1 = 0.7811 pounds) (Reporting by Elisabeth O'Leary; editing by Jason Neely)
