@hugo7 because ive tried replying but it keeps breaking ive tagged you.
I see what you mean about distinction between the two. I totally meant the first one: i.e. companies first priority is share price and paying dividends/future growth. Providing care and a service that is patient focus would become the realm of the niche care provider.
Also, apologies, my mistype, I meant ACO's (accountable care organisations)
heres an explanation of them from a very pro source and probably hoping to be one.

Also for further reading if you can be bothered on private companies behaviour when given NHS contracts:

And a current doctor discussing what ACO's run by private companies is likely to look like on the frontline.
