Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of PFI repayments on the budget of the Sherwood Forest Hospital Trust; and what support is available to help the Trust with those repayments.
Sherwood Forest Hospital Trust has submitted a balanced financial plan, which takes into account its Private Finance Initiative (PFI) payments, for the first half of the year. Officials from the Department’s PFI team are working closely with the Trust and NHS England and NHS Improvement to support their activities to manage the contract effectively.
