NHS Confederation: Services should not be closed simply due to PFI costs

David Stout, NHS Confederation, calls for clear thinking on PFI and warns against shutting down services due to costs:

"We do need to look at how we remunerate hospitals for their care, and if a hospital has high costs the government I think is right, and we would support this, the government does need to look at how we ensure they get the right amount of money to run that care.

"We don't want the care to be closed simply because of the cost of PFI. That would be foolish."
