Operose Health is putting patients at risk by prioritising profit, says a senior GP.

The company, with almost 600,000 NHS patients, is owned by US healthcare giant Centene Corporation. One of its clinics is the Flying Scotsman health centre on Trafford Way in Doncaster city centre.

Operose says it's not short-staffed and operates in patients' best interests.
