Executive Summary
"It is no part of the government's policy to transfer the delivery of NHS clinical services into the private sector," UK Health Secretary Stephen Dorrell told the Royal College of Physicians last week. Announcing the government's commitment to encourage private investment in the NHS, he drew a distinction between clinical services and the supporting facilities. "The Private Finance Initiative is about the provision of the supporting facilities," said Mr Dorrell.
