Can governments do it better? Merger mania and hospital outcomes in the English NHS
Gaynor, Martin; Laudicella, Mauro; Propper, Carol - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
The literature on mergers between private hospitals suggests that such mergers often produce little benefit. Despite this, the UK government has pursued an active policy of hospital mergers, arguing that such consolidations will bring improvements for patients. We examine whether this promise is...
