“…(The Guardian, Wednesday, 23 September 2009) A good deal of the research into PFI and into LIFTs within the NHS is very relevant to BSF and could have usefully informed its operationalisation. For example, Holmes, Capper, and Hudson (2006) found that LIFTs did not demonstrate VFM, and Aldred (2007) cites a doctor who judged the estimates he received for minor works as 'exorbitant'. Pollock, Shaoul, andVickers (2002, 1205) found that the use of PFI to build NHS hospitals is expensive and constrains both services and future options.…”

“…The second position is the real position, in which the opposite of the artificial position takes place: the public is considered as a real principal stakeholder, with the user of the PPP facility as internal stakeholders and the rest of the public (citizens) as external stakeholders. A reflection on the two positions strongly suggests that the dominant current scenario of PPP environments seem to concur with the artificial position (Hodge and Greve 2007;Holmes et al 2006;Cheung and Chan 2011;Cruz and Marques 2014;Xu and Moon 2014). The four features of the agency theory, as advanced by Lupia and McCubbins (2000) and Brehm and Gates (1997), are important for promoting PPPs to the general public.…”

Public private partnerships (PPPs), as new organizational forms, are intended to respond to societal problems previously held as intractable. In all countries, the originality of PPPs raises new questions of governance, which include the problem of sharing economic, social, and political responsibility among various segments of society in the development of the country; and the adoption of new institutional forms to enhance the efficiency of government action. These concerns are raised in both developed and developing countries, but with greater acuteness in the latter. In all cases, the central question regarding the relation between the public and private sectors is that which constitutes the public side of the partnership. This paper traces historical and contemporary developments in the need for PPPs; and current public protests against PPPs, which are perceived as impositions to the desires of the greater public. Using a principal-agent model as a lens, this paper provides a detailed understanding of what constitutes the first "P" (the public) in a PPP construct and shows how many current approaches in PPP project arrangements have failed to embrace the real public (an inclusive approach) and have instead been dominated by the artificial public agent (an exclusive approach). The paper provides an appropriate definition of the public and recommends the need for a paradigm shift from exclusion to inclusion in PPP arrangements.

“…36 The UK has been cited as a jurisdiction in which P3s are an inefficient use of government sources. 37,38 However, P3s comprise just one method of accessing capital and come with substantial risks, as seen in the case of St. Michael's Hospital. Other ways of accessing capital include bonds and debentures.…”
