§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list NHS PFI projects valued at more than £50 million for which approval has been granted by the Department; what the projected cost is of each of these projects; what net impact each project will have on the cost base of the NHS trusts involved; and what the projected completion date is for each project. [136893]
§ Mr. HuttonInformation on private finance initiative (PFI) schemes which have been given approval with their capital value; the revenue consequences of schemes that have signed contracts; and the projected completion dates for those who have yet to reach financial close have been placed in the Library. It is not possible to include details of the unitary payments for schemes yet to reach financial close as they are not finalised and are commercially sensitive.
Nor is it possible to give the net impact on the cost base of the National Health Service trusts without examining all the individual business cases and thereby incurring disproportionate costs.
For schemes which have not reached financial close, that is still in development, the capital cost is estimated based on highest costed option.
