Employers' body rounds on NHS over PFI delays

摘要

Nearly £100m has been wasted on 40 major PFI hospital schemes because of delays in the procurement process, according to a CBI report published today. The report, Buying the best for the NHS: Ensuring smarter capital procurement, blames the NHS for the delays, heaping more pressure on a client already beleaguered by a review of all its PFI projects. It follows moves by the Treasury in last month's Budget to try to improve the wasteful PFI bidding process by training the public sector to be better clients.
