To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Monitor is challenging Torbay Health Trust for anti-competitive behaviour in seeking to integrate its services with those in the community; and, if so, why.

Monitor has not taken any investigative or enforcement action in relation to Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust.

Organisations in Torbay have submitted an expression of interest to become an integration pioneer. This expression of interest is currently being assessed as part of a process that includes input from Monitor and a range of other national organisations and experts. The final decision about selection will be made by the collaboration of national partners in the autumn.
