The current annual PFI repayments are currently costing the NHS just over £2 billion a year. However, the hospitals with PFI schemes are crippled with the repayments. Relatively the worst affected is the Sherwood Forest group of 3 hospitals which sees 16% of it’s budget taken up by PFI repayments.
Barts in London pays annual charges of £116 million for a £1.2 scheme which will have cost over £6 billion when the scheme ends. The annual charge is 8% of it’s annual budget.
To put the £2 billion in perspective it would pay for quarter of a million hip operations per year.
