Dr Niall Power

Transparency under the CMA Order 2014

 

All private healthcare operators are required under the Competition and Markets Authority Order 2014 (“The CMA Order”) to be transparent about the relationship between their doctor and the private healthcare operator. Therefore, prospective patients should be aware that (in addition to being permitted to consult with and to treat patients at our facilities) this doctor also has an advisory role with HCA UK and is paid by HCA UK for this advisory role. We describe the nature of the role below, and we indicate how much the doctor has been paid for performing the role since 1 January 2023

 

Dr Niall Power provides professional medical advisory services to HCA in relation to consultant Radiological Services in line with current practice. He works with the CEO and HCA Representatives on an ongoing basis to ensure appropriate, efficient and continuing operation of all aspects of the Hospital including the efficient and continuing operation of Radiological Service provision at the Hospital.

 

As part of his responsibilities, he prepares and provides professional advice for Multidisciplinary Team meetings as well as monitors and reports on all respiratory radiology treatment outcomes performed at the Hospital.

 

Dr Power is also able to provide professional advice to HCA on clinical governance matters where requested and provides professional advice on the administration and growth of the Radiology Service at the Hospital.

 

All services provided under this agreement are charged to HCA UK. In 2023 the total paid for these services was £4,758.

 

If a doctor provides HCA UK with medical advisory services and also practises in the NHS, HCA UK requires that doctor to attest that he/she is not compromising his/her NHS commitments in so doing.
