'The Group is pleased to announce that its healthcare delivery business, Mercury
Health, has been appointed as preferred bidder to deliver a range of diagnostic
services to NHS patients in the West Midlands.  Under the contract, Mercury
Health will be undertaking up to 190,000 diagnostic procedures annually for a
five year period.  The contract is one of seven regional diagnostic contracts 
to be awarded as part of the Phase 2 Independent Sector Treatment Centre
programme.  Financial close is expected to be reached by the end of the year 
and service delivery is due to commence during the first half of 2007


As anticipated in our preliminary statement on 20 June 2006, the weighting of
trading towards the second half of the year will be even more pronounced this
