Private finance scheme extended

Private finance is to be extended into National Health Service primary care in a new way. A sum of £5m from private sources is to be part of a £10m scheme to develop six NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) projects to build new facilities and lease them to GPs, pharmacists or dentists.

NHS LIFT is to be a new public-private partnership that will build and refurbish primary care premises and then lease them on favourable terms to GPs.
