Private Healthcare Self-Pay UK Market Report

Private Healthcare Self-Pay UK Market Report

The second edition of LaingBuisson’s Private Healthcare: Self-Pay UK Market Study is vital reading for anyone involved in this highly competitive sector of the UK health economy, be they providers, commissioners, investors or advisors to the sector. The report highlights the growth of self-funded private healthcare, driven by NHS waiting lists, demand management by Clinical Commissioning groups (CCGs) and a more consumer focused private healthcare sector and provides the background to a £1.1 billion market for self-funded treatment in the UK’s private hospitals and clinics that has more than doubled over the last five years (£527million in 2013). One in four private patients are now self-funding their treatment rather than using private medical insurance. Comprehensive pricing information on self-pay private treatment has been gathered by LaingBuisson‘s research team. Around 6,000 prices for private treatment were collected and are analysed in the report.
