Have your say on veterinary services
The Competition and Markets Authority are reviewing the provision of veterinary services with particular regard to the consolidation of veterinary practices into groups, often funding by venture capital. Living in an affluent urban area, we currently have a lot of choice but that may not always be the case in future and isn't for many people around the country. Individual vets can have less autonomy in group practices and some have reported that they are now being pressured into "upselling". The fewer choices available, the more likely it is that prices will rise above and beyond inflationary pressures on practices. There are three separate, short surveys available:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-respond-to-the-veterinary-services-market-for-pets-review
