HC Deb 31 March 1999 vol 328 c828W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer of 23 March 1999,Official Report, columns 185–86, if he will place in the Library the documents disseminated through the NHS Executive's regional offices for those private finance initiative schemes which have reached financial close. [78986]

Mr. Denham

The National Health Service Executive does not prepare a formal written report on the lessons learned from each private finance initiative scheme. Any lessons that are to be learned are disseminated through training events, networking days or through ad-hoc guidance. All of the existing PFI guidance will be replaced shortly by codified advice, which will be disseminated to the whole of the NHS and will be available from the Stationery Office and on the Internet. Copies of the guidance will also be placed in the Library.
