The Welsh Government and the NHS is seeking a takeover of a private cancer treatment centre in Newport owned by Rutherford Health, which is expected to go into liquidation.
The centre, which uses proton beam therapy to treat cancer, is one of four facilities across the UK owned by Rutherford Health which next week will lodge a court application to appoint an official receiver - and officer of the Insolvency Service - as liquidator.
It said its trading position had been impacted by a fall in patient numbers during the pandemic. It was unable to secure new investment having invested £240m on its four centres.
