Spire Healthcare, a provider of private healthcare, completed the acquisition of a 87% stake in Claremont Private Hospital, a private hospital in Sheffield, from Aspen Healthcare, a provider of home health and hospice services, for £15.7m. “Claremont Private Hospital provides the company with a high quality hospital in South Yorkshire, an area with a large population where Spire Healthcare currently has no presence, and where the group anticipates strong demand for self-pay procedures. Spire Healthcare will continue a proactive review of the hospital portfolio, seeking to fill white space in the network through bolt-on acquisitions and management contracts when opportunities arise,” Spire.
