There were two topics in this week's show which were both linked to the same thing... The Public Sector Borrowing Requirement which encompases PFI (the Private Finance Initiative) In the case of The National Health Service, what happens is that all the old hospitals are sold off to property developers who then turn them into luxury flats, shopping centres, etc. who then sell them and make a fortune. In return they build a new hospital and rent it to the health trust. (thetvdb.com)
