Viapath is the best documented example I have found of a very significant phenomenon - the hiving off of pathology from NHS Trusts into commercial organisations. We need the WikiProject National Health Service to cover the development of privatisation. I was planning to produce more articles on other similar enterprises. Viapath runs 60 laboratories and provides pathology services for several million people. It has an annual income of £93 million, employs 1000 people and conducted more than 22 million pathology tests in 2013. Rathfelder (talk) 20:58, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Pathology laboratories do not usually receive much (read:any) coverage, but the sources provided in the article suggest this one might be more notable than most. --MelanieN (talk) 01:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
