HEALTHCARE

Public funding pressures and the challenge of an ageing population continue to drive increased use of the private sector to deliver healthcare solutions. Customers are continually seeking new ways of changing models of service provision, as well as technical improvements in diagnosis and treatment.  This presents opportunities to corporates and individuals to provide improved services to the public and statutory care services providers.  The UK healthcare sector has been a longstanding area of focus for LGV and we have invested in a number of businesses which serve the healthcare market. We have invested in private acute hospitals through Classic Hospitals, dentistry through Integrated Dental Holdings ("IDH"), residential care homes for the elderly and learning disabilities market through Craegmoor and medical consumables through Verna.

LGV has a strong appetite to support management teams in growing their businesses across the healthcare spectrum and in what is a highly fragmented sector with many differing sub-sectors, opportunities have presented themselves to grow businesses through the opening of new facilities, by acquisition or by taking the companies into complementary markets.

LGV typically focuses on the following segments within the healthcare sector:

 

• Acute & Primary care provision
• Residential care & education provision
• Services to the healthcare sector
• Life Sciences
• Animal Health
