Both myself and my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Jackie Doyle-Price) have met with representatives of Four Seasons Healthcare, Terra Firma and H/2 Capital Partners to emphasise the importance of ensuring continuity of care for those in receipt of care from Four Seasons.

The Department has not received any specific representations on the potential sale of HC-One.

The social care market is a combination of independent and publicly funded services, and sales are a normal part of a functioning market.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has been closely monitoring the situation at both HC-One and Four Seasons, and will continue to do so. The CQC has been clear that service disruption is not likely at the current time.
