The announcement by the Department of Health just after Christmas to put certain PFI projects on hold created some consternation.
And in fact almost 60% of the investment under signed PFI contracts in the UK will score on the government's balance sheet.
The evidence suggests that decisions on bed numbers in PFI schemes reflect financial expediency rather than clinical judgment.
In contrast, cost overruns under PFI are on average 170 per cent from outline to full business case.
We are currently enjoying great demand for our services in relation to major PFI, NHS LIFT and traditionally procured projects.
