answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2024 answer text <p>On 26 January the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport issued a new Public Interest Intervention Notice in respect of the anticipated acquisition of Telegraph Media Group by RB Investco Ltd.</p><p>This follows Redbird IMI making changes to the corporate structure of the potential acquiring entities of the Telegraph Media Group. This created a new limited partnership which would hold all shares in RB Investco – the proposed purchaser of Telegraph Media Group. The Secretary of State has come to the conclusion that this corporate restructure creates a new relevant merger situation.</p><p>The Notice triggers a requirement for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to report to the Secretary of State on jurisdictional and competition matters, and for Ofcom to report on the specified media public interest considerations. Ofcom and the CMA have now both launched invitations for public comment, and will report to the Secretary of State on the issues specified in the Notice by 9.00 a.m. on 11 March 2024.</p><p>The Public Interest Intervention Notice issued on 30 November 2023 in regard to the acquisition of Telegraph Media Group Limited by RedBird IMI Media Joint Venture LLC remains in force. The deadline by when the Secretary of State expects to receive Ofcom and the CMA’s reports in relation to this Notice has also been extended to 9.00 a.m. on 11 March 2024 so as to align with the deadline for the reports she has requested in relation to the new Notice.</p><p>The Pre-emptive Action Order made on 1 December 2023 remains in force.</p><p>It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time given this is an ongoing regulatory intervention.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay grouped question UIN HL1550 HL1551 HL1552 question first answered 29/01/2024 16:45:28 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

It distinguishes between those patients who are admitted into hospital and those who are non-admitted (for example, outpatients). It does not identify appointments. The data also measures the number of patients who had not yet started treatment at the end of each month and the number of weeks they were waiting.</p><p> </p><p>The requested information has been placed in the Library. It does not sum to published national figures, because it excludes other organisations who submitted data over the time period including primary care trusts and the independent sector.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe grouped question UIN HL1524 HL1525 HL1526 HL1527 HL1528 HL1529 HL1555 HL1556 question first answered 30/07/2014 11:16:31 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe attachment 1 file name HL1524 - HL1525 - HL1526 - HL1527 - HL1528 - HL1529 - HL1554 - HL1555 - HL1556 - Lib Doc Table.xlsx title NHS patient waiting times by Trust
