Odd accounting policies prompt second thoughts
Article Abstract:
Sinclair Montrose is setting up retail Medicentres in the United Kingdom, where consultations are available with physicians for 32 pounds sterling. Sites have been provided by retailers such as Boots. Accounting treatment of the company's spending on advertising is eccentric. Medicentres have been criticised by Health Which on a number of counts. The company's other activities include supplying part-time nurses, and this market is very competitive.
