Book Description
In 1997, the Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust awarded the first NHS private finance initiative (PFI) contract for a new hospital at Darent Valley, to a company now known as The Hospital Company (Dartford) Limited. This NAO report examines the value for money the Trust is receiving now that the PFI hospital has been in operation for three years. Findings include that the new hospital has been delivered to time and cost in accordance with the PFI contract. The Trust received a reduction in the overall contract price through a refinancing deal, with THC Dartford shareholders receiving much quicker and larger profits than had been projected when the contract was awarded. However, the refinancing deal has brought the Trust new risks as well as benefits, and this highlights the need for authorities to fully assess risks involved before agreeing to a refinancing deal, including the significant senior management effort required to manage a PFI contract in the early years.

Book Description
The author shows beyond question that neglectful care is a systemic blight, rather than mere local blemish, within our health services. He analyses the causes and factors involved, reveals the widespread denial and lack of accountability from those responsible, and spells out implications of this failure to care for the vulnerable with humanity.

Book Description
Back in 1997, New Labour came to power amid much talk of regenerating the inner cities left to rot under successive Conservative governments. Over the next decade, British cities became the laboratories of the new enterprise economy: glowing monuments to finance, property speculation, and the service industry—until the crash. In A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain, Owen Hatherley sets out to explore the wreckage—the buildings that epitomized an age of greed and aspiration. From Greenwich to Glasgow, Milton Keynes to Manchester, Hatherley maps the derelict Britain of the 2010s: from riverside apartment complexes, art galleries and amorphous interactive “centers,” to shopping malls, call centers and factories turned into expensive lofts. In doing so, he provides a mordant commentary on the urban environment in which we live, work and consume. Scathing, forensic, bleakly humorous, A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain is a coruscating autopsy of a get-rich-quick, aspirational politics, a brilliant, architectural “state we’re in.”
