HCRG Care Group Ltd, formerly known as Virgin Care, has been awarded the £1.3 billion contract for community health and care services across the Swindon and Wilts area, causing disappointment among local healthcare staff and members of campaign groups. Concerns have been raised regarding the company's takeover by private equity firm Twenty20 Capital and the potential impact on publicly funded services, staff pay, terms and conditions, as well as the continuity of care for patients.
