According to the Allied website it is the country’s largest domiciliary care business, twice the size of its nearest competitor. Its Primecare division provides primary and urgent healthcare services, including NHS 111 telephony services, GP-led medical centres and end-of-life care. It also provides healthcare services in a number of secure settings including prisons, immigration centres and secure training centres. At that time some charities warned it could cost the sector £400m and potentially bankrupt many social care charities and providers. “The proposed CVA will not impact on the safe continuity of care that Allied Healthcare provides across the UK,” it said.
