It is a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, which acquired it for £205 million in 2014.[2]
It has 150 services, operating across 14 different service lines and has a workforce of nearly 11,000 people.[3] Following a consultation with its staff and stakeholders, in May 2023 the company announced it had developed its brand into health care and social care divisions, with an overarching Cygnet as its umbrella.[4]
In December 2016 it bought the adult services business of Cambian Group PLC in a deal worth £377 million.[5] The deal was referred for investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority in May 2017,[6] which ordered the merged company to sell one of its hospitals in the East Midlands, to counter the loss of competition.[7]
Stephen Firn, former chief executive of Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and a non-executive director of the company, was appointed to lead the healthcare division in 2022.[8]
