Public Private Partnerships The aim of a PPP is to deliver improved services and better value for money primarily through appropriate risk transfer, encouraging innovation, greater asset utilisation and an integrated whole-of-life management, underpinned by private financing.

UK Lessons Asset utilisation Best decision ever made in this part of the NHS Sir Robert Naylor CEO UCLH UCLH merged four hospitals onto one site Improved services The long-term benefits for patients of PFI are clear Norfolk and Norwich Trust has estimated that it is treating 23,000 more patients each year as a result of moving to new PFI premises. Former UK Labour Minister Mike O Brien Innovation We ve learnt that when risk is shared equitably between all parties involved in construction, you get more innovation. In PFI, the NHS wanted the private consortiums to take all the risks. So new ideas weren t being tried. James Barlow Imperial College London Value for money The debts attached to PFI schemes and the lack of flexibility in repaying them hugely increase the financial pressures on NHS trusts.

What lies ahead? There is no shortage of private sector capital that could potentially be deployed to finance public infrastructure in Australia...Private capital markets will finance most projects at the right price. Productivity Commission Infrastructure Report 2014
What is the big picture? Let the market decide? Green-field hospital PPPs only What are the key drivers? State v Federal responsibilities A more coordinated approach Privatise existing hospitals Genuine choice for patients?
