What do the Tories say? Though PFI began under the Conservatives, they were intensely critical of Gordon Brown and Tony Blair's much expanded use of the funding method, viewing it as a way for the former government to conceal the true scale of public borrowing in the 2000s.Jan 18, 2018

NHS hospital trusts to pay out further £55bn under PFI scheme

Some spending one-sixth of entire budget on repaying debts from Blair-era policy

I have mentioned PFI several times recently but as it was a cunning labour wheeze to kick NHS debt way into the future the usual lefty selective amnesia kicks in.
Fact:
1)year on year the NHS budget has grown.
2)NHS hospital trusts are being crippled by the private finance initiative and will have to make another £55bn in payments by the time the last contract ends in 2050
3)“Toxic PFI contracts are still driving billions away from patients and into private bank accounts,” said Chris Thomas, an IPPR health fellow, who carried out the research
4)Tory Ministers have banned the NHS from using PFI for any future building projects after criticism that many of the contracts still active represent poor value for money.
Rather a different narrative than the left would have us believe.
Tories know money vcan only be spent once.
It is only the left, with the abbaccus as shadow home secretary figure they can use mathermagic and spend the same penny a multiplicity of times. Their schooling may have been at Hogwarts but all they learnt was hogwash.

At the start of the NHS life expectancy in the UK was (M)66 years and (F)70 years. Today the figures are 79.3 years for males and 82.9
Two-thirds of hospitals beds are occupied by the one-third of the population with a long-term condition.
. People are living with a growing number of long-term chronic conditions - diabetes, heart disease and dementia. These are more about care than cure - what patients usually need is support. By the age of 65, most people will have at least one of these illnesses. By 75 they will have two.
5. Care for older people costs much more

The average 65-year-old costs the NHS 2.5 times more than the average 30-year-old. An 85-year-old costs more than five times as much.
If youwant a better health service it will cost you. Simples!
