No major NHS building work until 2014

摘要

The NHS' property boss has said the new property company that he heads is unlikely to procure major construction work until 2014 at the earliest, writes Adam Branson. Speaking exclusively to Building, Simon Holden, who was appointed chief executive of NHS Property Services (NHSPS) in August, said it was unlikely that the company would undertake large-scale procurement until the 2014/15 financial year. Under the current restructuring of the NHS - widely viewed as the biggest in its history - primary care trusts (PCTs) and strategic health authorities (SHAs) are to be abolished at the end of the current financial year.
