<p>Prior to the liquidation of Carillion, there were difficulties associated with
the Mechanical, Engineering and Plant (MEP) design of the Midland Metropolitan Hospital
which meant that the Trust was already expecting an 11-month delay to completion,
although it is understood that these design issues were largely resolved at the point
Carillion went into liquidation in January 2018. However less than 10% of the MEP
had been installed as the fit out had barely commenced at that point.</p><p> </p><p>The
Trust will be using independent technical advisers and experts to review the overall
work to date on the Midland Metropolitan Hospital as part of the programme of work
to complete the new hospital.</p><p> </p><p>The independent technical advisor to the
lenders to the Private Finance Initiative consortium assessed and certified this valuation
of £205 million a few days prior to Carillion going into liquidation.</p>
