An NAO report released today attacked the cost of PFI schemes and questioned whether they provide value-for-money.
The NAO said: “The case for using private finance in public procurement needs to be challenged more.
“In the current climate, the use of private finance may not be as suitable for as many projects as it has been in the past.
“The NAO calls on the Treasury and departments to identify alternative methods for delivering infrastructure and related facilities services, building on the lessons learnt from PFI, to maximise value for money for government.”
