A third of NHS contracts in England have been awarded to private sector providers since the service was reorganised in 2013, figures suggest.
The information comes from a Freedom of Information request made by the British Medical Journal.
Of 3,494 contracts awarded by 182 Clinical Commissioning Groups in England between April 2013 and August 2014, 33% went to the private sector.
The government says the data is misleading.
It's unclear how much the contracts were worth because the CCGS would not disclose this information citing commercial sensitivities.
