Community Hospitals Group (CHG) is considering buying back Bupa’s 26.8% stake in the UK’s fourth-largest hospital operator.
Bupa has to sell the stake after the government blocked Bupa’s £230m acquisition of CHG last week on competition grounds.
Analysts had speculated that the likes of General Healthcare, Nuffield Hospitals, Columbia Healthcare and United Surgical Partners International could bid for CHG.
