The return of PFI – will the NHS pay a higher price for new hospitals?

This report claims that the Government’s Private Finance 2 initiative is likely to divert more resources away from the NHS in England than the original Private Finance Initiative. It warns that Private Finance 2 deals are likely to be more expensive than existing PFI deals. Analysis of the financing model for the new scheme finds that restructuring the balance of debt and risk capital would increase the rate of return to private investors by 15%, under current market conditions.
