Geographically adjacent meregers inevitably reduce choice. Surely lessons from where competition has worked (retail?) would suggest that we need a Guys chain who run a arange of hospitals across the country, competing with UCLH, Newcastle, Manchester and Cambridge chains, each geographically dispersed, and competing under choice, but each benefitting from economies of scale in support services and from standardised care pathways.
