NHS, PFI

As PFI do reino de sua majestade

«PFI was a magnificent wheeze to bamboozle the local population and the international financial community into believing that public sector borrowing was lower than it actually was, and that private contracting would improve efficiency. This bonanza for some private sector firms is now translating into significant funding problems for the NHS in a period of protracted economic difficulty. But contracts are contracts and the private sector will have to be paid, even if this diminishes the local capacity of the NHS to deliver patient care». link
