PARIS, Jan 24 (Reuters) – Orpea said on Monday it rejected all the accusations contained in a forthcoming book denouncing the management of certain nursing homes in the private sector, extracts from which were published on Monday by the daily Le Monde.
“We formally contest all of these accusations which we consider to be false, outrageous and prejudicial”, writes Orpea in a press release.
The operator of retirement homes added that it had contacted its lawyers about possible legal action to be taken later. (Written by Camille Raynaud, edited by Bertrand Boucey)
