MRS Janet Louca has my sympathy with regard to her father's experience at our new hospital.
Perhaps it will comfort her to know that the company which built it, Carillion, has made £37m from a £13m investment. This was made within three years of the opening of the first Private Finance Initiative hospital in Kent.
The GWH is among many PFI hospitals. The company builds and maintains the hospital while leasing it back to the health trust over a period of sometimes 35 years.
Companies make fortunes by simply selling off their interests. Money for jam.
