In addition, the government will launch a pilot ‘Centre of Best Practice’ (CBP) in the Department of Health and Social Care to help Trusts maximise the value of their existing PFI contracts.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/11/2018 13:21:04 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the report entitled PFI and PF2, published by the National Audit Office on 17 January 2018, what assessment his Department has made of the implications for his Department's policies of that report's findings that PF2 costs are around 40 per cent higher than similar projects financed by government borrowing; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>The vast majority of PFI projects were signed under the last Labour government – 620, or 86% of all PFI projects in the UK. Since coming to office in 2010, this Government has reformed the approach so that now, PF2 contracts deliver better value for money for the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>We have also improved the VfM we get from existing PFI contracts, and this will deliver over £2 billion in efficiencies over the remaining life of the contracts.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury Green Book is clear that, to compare the costs and benefits that occur at different times between different projects, a discount rate must be applied to the cashflows. This is standard practice in all economic appraisals as it provides a Net Present Cost for the different projects, which enables a proper comparison of the costs and benefits occurring at different times on a consistent basis.</p><p> </p><p>The NAO report’s finding that PF2 costs are around 40 per cent higher than similar projects financed by government borrowing is based on undiscounted cashflows and has not followed the Green Book guidance. It is not, therefore, an appropriate comparison.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 11/06/2018 09:13:20 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
