Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE COST of changing computer systems to cope with the year 2000 date bug, and the failure to get new facilities in the behavioural medicine division on stream on time, led to an 11 per cent fall in profits before exceptionals to pounds 16.1m in the year to end May at Westminster Healthcare.
After exceptionals, profits before tax were up 15 per cent to pounds 13.6m. Turnover rose by 31 per cent to pounds 145m and operating profits were up 13 per cent to pounds 26.8m.
