WHILST I fully agree with the comments of Ian Gallagher about Public Finance Initiatives in our hospitals, the fruits of PFI in the health service are there for all the unfortunate public to see. With the cutbacks of essential services i.e., cleaning, nurses, doctors, an increase in management services.

The MRSA superbug is on the increase due to hospitals not being cleaned properly mainly due to the shortage of staff

The crisis at Queen's Park Hospital will surely escalate with the mis-management. Under PFI the blame lies at the door of PFI.
