| As PFI hospitals were all built more recently what would the logic be in closing them? Presumably they have facilities which are appropriate for a modern health service in the way that older buildings don't. Also the way they operate the NHS would be subject to early termination payments so there would be no financial gain. What ever the issues about management inefficiency the NHS locally needs to have a strategic plan. Within that you inevitably have to look at the assets you have and invest in those which are effective and downgrade those which are not as useful. Whether the NHS have got this right or wrong I don't really know but I don't think it would be right to constrain them by saying they are not allowed to close or downgrade any facility. |
