The Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) is the Competition and Market Authority’s (CMA) appointed independent ‘Information Organisation’ (IO). This appointment follows the CMA’s investigation into Private Healthcare (further details found on the CMA’s website).

We have a legal mandate to gather and publish performance information regarding all hospitals and consultants providing private treatment. We act as an online source of independent and trustworthy information, ensuring patients using private healthcare can compare and choose between both hospitals and consultants. Since April 2013, we have published information on our website covering approximately 200 hospitals and over 1 million patient admissions each year.

PHIN is currently working closely with both hospital and consultant representatives to ensure the information we publish is fair, robust and comparable to that about NHS services, wherever possible. We are not a regulator and are committed to helping all private healthcare providers communicate the scope and quality of the care that they provide.

Prior to the CMA investigation, PHIN was established and funded voluntarily by our members, a range of private and independent healthcare providers. A full list of our members can be found on our website.
