Symbion Health - proposed acquisition of Mansfield Pathology
File number
C2005/1938
Industry
Pathology services
Outcome
Not Opposed
Date completed
10th January 2006
Merger type
Horizontal
Market definition
The ACCC considered the impact of the acquisition on the NSW market for the provision of pathology services (excluding services to public hospital in-patients).
Competition analysis
The ACCC considered that the acquisition was unlikely to substantially lessen competition in the NSW pathology services market having regard to, among other things, the existence of other significant pathology service providers in this market which would act as a competitive constraint against the merged entity.
