The Beacon Hospital is performing strongly. It is being sold to an Australian bank after months of talks, at a big profit to Denis O'Brien.

New filings for the Blackrock Clinic show a business in rude health, with serious capital investment and room for growth. However, the sector is not without challenge, as other operators are discovering.
