Significant events
- “In late 2024 Air Liquide Healthcare was unsuccessful in retaining the London business and began negotiations with the NHS and the to-be supplier to transition services late 2025. Following this transition, the business will resize accordingly utilising TUPE and an internal restructure which will be managed with minimal redundancies, mitigated through via natural attrition and redeployments.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
