Brakke Consulting Viewpoints

In last week’s Viewpoint, I reviewed the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) reforms for the veterinary sector and ended with a comment about trust — it’s not a vague sentiment made on my part.

Your View

Last week, we asked what you thought about the CMA rule requiring veterinary practices to publish a comprehensive price list for standard services.  A majority (60 %) of you would support this rule, while 19% would not support this rule. The remainder (21%) were not sure.  It appears that transparency of fees would be welcome to most of us. 
This week let’s see what you think about another one of the CMA’s new rules for veterinary practices that directly focuses on disclosure. Tell us what you think about this rule: 
Vet businesses must make it clear whether they are part of a group or an independent business – common ownership will be displayed on signage, at the premises and online.
