Monitor completed this review to advise the NHS Trust Development Authority on how the merger could affect choice or competition.

It concludes the merger is not likely to have a negative effect on patients and taxpayers as a result of a loss of choice or competition.

For mergers involving only NHS trusts (rather than NHS foundation trusts), Monitor’s role is advisory.
