<p>Carillion is building the new Royal Liverpool Hospital under a Private Finance
Initiative (PFI) contract. The PFI contract between the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen
University Hospitals NHS Trust and the PFI Project Company is still in place, which
means that the Company is still contractually obliged to manage the project and find
a construction firm or subcontractor who can continue the building work. This is important
for the Trust and also an incentive for the PFI Project Company to minimise delay.
Additionally, the Department and NHS Improvement have been supporting the Trust with
contingency planning for this to ensure there is minimal disruption.</p><p>The Royal
Liverpool Hospital scheme is very well advanced. The PFI Project Company is currently
in discussions with PwC (on behalf of the official receiver), their lenders and with
other service and construction companies to assess how best to continue delivering
these contracts.</p>
