PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
NHS Property and Estates Review (8 February 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to paragraph 6.28 of the Government Response to the Naylor Review, published in January 2018, how much of the £8 billiion of operating costs is directly linked to (a) PFI and (b) other external contracts.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

Data is collected from the National Health Service on the costs of their Estates and Facilities services, through the Estates Return Information Collection. This includes Private Finance Initiative (PFI) costs identified separately, but not the costs of external contracts generally. Data for the latest available year shows that PFI costs reported by the NHS were £1.6 billion.
