Competition analysis
Perth market for diagnostic imaging
The ACCC considered that the proposed acquisition would be unlikely to substantially lessen competition in this market, particularly as it would not significantly change market concentration.
Perth market for the supply of MRI services
The ACCC considered that the proposed acquisition would be unlikely to substantially lessen competition in this market, particularly because significant competitors would remain in the market post-acquisition.
