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.
