Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After considering all the factors the directors have a reasonable expectation the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation and manage the risks for at least the going concern assessment period, which is twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Accordingly, they have decided to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Since the reporting end date, the Company has completed a number of additional hospitals.”
- “The Company and its immediate holding company, JPTR Bidco Limited, are guarantors of Veonet Group debt facilities, which are repayable by 21 April 2031. At 31 December 2024, these debt facilities comprised €1,059m, £312m and CHF105m; of which €852m, £312m and CHF105m had been utilised. Since the year end, the facilities were increased by €95m.”
- “Since the year end, the Belfast hospital's trade, assets and employees have been transferred to Veonet Northern Ireland Limited with assets being transferred at the carrying net book value on the date of transfer.”
- “In prior years, the Company claimed corporation tax group relief from other UK group entities without paying any consideration. As the surrender of these tax losses (an asset) by UK group entities could be considered a distribution under the Companies Act 2006, it was decided in July 2025 that a payment of £18,011,000, based on the surrendered tax losses and applicable prior period corporation tax rates, was settled through inter-company loan accounts, with a corresponding charge to corporation tax in the statement of comprehensive income.”
