The fifth edition of this report is essential reading for anyone with an interest in private outpatient and inpatient healthcare. This includes service providers, suppliers, advisors, investors and insurers operating in this growing market.
The self-pay market has shown market-beating growth throughout 2021 following the seismic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Promising indications for future growth also exist. NHS waiting lists and NHS demand management have been the key underlying driver for this growth. The likes of this haven’t been experienced in a generation and reached a figure of 7.2 million people in December 2022. This has been the primary reason for people increasingly turning to the private sector to access care.
In addition, some NHS Trusts are beginning to provide wider availability of information and procedure prices in an attempt to recover NHS private patient revenues. However, this varies depending on geography, the existence of dedicated private patient beds, and local pressures. This begs the question: Are NHS Private Patient Units (PPUs) missing this opportunity to compete within the independent sector?
The report includes future projections for the subsequent years and explores the influential factors. Whilst the market has shown increasing volumes of growth for patients paying to receive private care, factors such as staffing and resourcing make estimates more difficult. However, all indicators are that the self-pay market will continue to grow but providers must be prepared to effectively target varied patient needs to convert this interest into demand.
