It was alleged by the Daily Telegraph that Choudhrie was denied a peerage because of concerns about the treatment of patients by the Alpha Hospital Group. Choudhrie owned C&C Alpha Group, which owned both the Alpha Hospital Group and Alpha Care Homes. The company responded by saying "Sudhir Choudhrie does not run or manage Alpha Healthcare or Alpha Hospitals. He retired from being a director of both companies in 2007". In July 2014 the Guardian published a correction, saying there was no evidence to suggest that his peerage was blocked because concerns about Alpha. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sudhir Choudhrie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
