Subject
Dear Jeremy Hunt,<br /><br />I am appalled that in recent years the Department of Health has promoted to impoverished countries a financing mechanism that has burdened the NHS with debt and is threatening the provision of good quality, affordable healthcare in this country.<br /><br />The use of the 'Private Finance Initiative' to fund UK hospitals has been widely discredited, including by the National Audit Office, the Treasury Select Committee, and various government Ministers. The NHS is paying over £2 billion every year to private companies for PFI contracts. And yet the Department of Health, through Healthcare UK, has been promoting the use of similar Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) around the world.<br /><br />PPPs put the healthcare systems of impoverished countries like Zambia and Liberia at risk of unjust and unpayable debts. I am writing to ask you to stop Healthcare UK and the wider UK government from promoting this flawed model to countries in the Global South.
To show you're an actual person, what is 2 + 4 ?
