I'd assumed until now that at least the hospital got most of the cash. If they get next to nothing, just what is the point?!?
(And yeah, spent an absolute fortune when Mrs Wisdom and junior Wisdom were in hospital for over a week!)
Maintenance I suppose - tarmac, line painting, machines, making sure nobody slips over in icy weather...What are the actual running costs of a car park once you own the land? Just enforcement, right?
At the very least. I'm no fan of being charged to park at a hospital but I could almost stomach it if I found out it was subsidising free parking for the staff.They are making more than enough to end the ridiculous staff parking costs.
It is unlikely to be UHCW who profits from this, it'll probably be whatever the entity is that owns the hospital building and site, usually an SPV. Well done to new Labour for adopting the Tory PFI catastrophe.

Yeah it's the PFI contractor not the hospital that profits. The hospital gets very little money from the car parks.It is unlikely to be UHCW who profits from this, it'll probably be whatever the entity is that owns the hospital building and site, usually an SPV.

I worked for another trust years ago and attended a meeting with representatives of the company that owned the hospital building the trust was using. They were fucking awful people talking about "their building". PFI is a long term disaster just to achieve the meaningless measure of a 'balanced budget'.Yeah it's the PFI contractor not the hospital that profits.

But at least thanks to PFI we have state of the art hospitals that aren't falling apart and enough capacity for everyone who needs a bedYeah it's the PFI contractor not the hospital that profits.
Many PFI hospitals had the capacity reduced in the design stage as the PFI costs would have been unaffordable. This has resulted in many PFI hospitals not having sufficient capacity to deal with current demand. Any changes to configuration or services provided (eg portering) cost an arm and a leg and can take years to implement.But at least thanks to PFI we have state of the art hospitals that aren't falling apart and enough capacity for everyone who needs a bed
Top of the charts in something.Something should be done about this. So wrong.
