In fact, it's about a third of the health trusts that are struggling with respect to their payments.
If you had read the article perhaps, what the Conservative minister had said was that it parts of the national health system were on the brink of financial collapse. Of the remaining 40 or so health trusts, a number of them were built as part of the public finance initiative and they're not on the brink of collapse. Is it the PFI that's the problem then? Can we conclude that PFI is the reason the health system is truly on the brink of collapse?
If as many are doing well financially.... In fact, John Appleby, who is an independent economist, says that many hospitals remain “perfectly healthy financially”, despite being financed under the PFI.
Isn't it more correct to say the reasons that health trusts in the U.K. are struggling are complex and not necessarily or singularly related to the PFI?
