Veterinary Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that veterinary clients are able to make informed choices in a market where many practices trade under local-sounding names despite corporate ownership.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The CMA is currently conducting a market investigation into veterinary services for household pets. The final report is expected early next year and will set out the actions the CMA has decided to take.
As the UK’s independent competition authority, the CMA is responsible for decisions relating to its investigations, including on remedies.
