The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has asked an expanded dentistry business to show how its recent acquisition won’t hit the level of services offered to NHS patients.
The CMA opened an investigation into the purchase of Dental Partners Group by Riviera Bidco – the owner of dental practice operator Rodericks Dental.
It was concerned about the potential impact of the merger in the areas of Yorkshire and Derbyshire where both businesses offer NHS or private dental treatments.
