Petition · past parliament

Scrap poor-deal PFIs now or wave goodbye to the NHS - it's a simple choice.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Huddersfield HRI A&E will close to finance the bad PFI deal at Calderdale - a hospital that took £64m to build and will eventually cost taxpayers £774m. PFI Investors have already had their investments back many times - we should not be shovelling OUR public money into private pockets any more.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It's not clear whether you would like the Government to end all PFI contracts within the NHS, or only certain contracts which offer a poor deal. You could start a new petition asking clearly for the action you would like the Government to take.
