§ Mr. HoramEach trust involved in a private finance initiative scheme will select a preferred bidder from replies to advertisements in theOfficial Journal of the European Communities. Health authorities, as health care purchasers, are involved in a PFI scheme from outline business case stage onwards and must give formal backing to the scheme for the full business case to be approved. Information on the exact dates of selection of preferred bidder and health authority approval is not held centrally for schemes which have not yet received full business case approval.
Twenty-five proposed PFI schemes for new hospitals have reached preferred bidder stage or beyond. None of these has yet started construction. Information on the status of these schemes is listed in the table.
