Don't rush to ditch PFI, experts warn

摘要

Carillion's collapse should not mean private firms are shut out of public sector schemes to build and run schools and hospitals, a Whitehall thinktank has warned, writes David Blackman. The contractor's implosion put PFI and PPP schemes further under the spotlight, with a number of schemes, including two hospitals in Liverpool and the West Midlands, facing further delays as a result. Last autumn shadow chancellor John McDonnell told the Labour Party conference that an incoming Labour government would bring PFI contracts back in house.
