The Commerce Commission has received an application from Pacific Radiology Limited to acquire the radiology services, business and assets of Wakefield Radiology Limited.

Pacific Radiology provides radiology services in Christchurch, Nelson and the Hutt Valley, while Wakefield Radiology has clinics in the Wellington and Wairarapa regions.

In considering the application, the Commission’s role is to determine whether the merger has the effect of substantially lessening competition in a market.
