Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.”

Safeguarding Adults and the Law, now in its second edition, sets this complex area of work within an extensive legal framework and provides many useful pointers for practitioners and students.

Book excerpt: “Comparable with Michael Lewis’ The Big Short or indeed Ian Fraser’s Shredded, Bob Wylie has done a forensic job . . . a powerful book.” —Talk Media Podcast The collapse in January 2018 of the construction giant Carillion, outsourcer of huge Government building contracts, is one of the great financial scandals of modern times. When it folded it had only £29 million in the bank and debts and other liabilities adding up to a staggering £7 billion. When the total losses were counted it was established that the banks were owed £1.3 billion in loans and that there was a hole in the pension fund of £2.6 billion. That left British taxpayers picking up the tab to salvage the pensions owed to Carillion workers. On one level, this is a familiar story of directors who systematically looted a company with the aim of their own enrichment. But in a wider context the Carillion catastrophe exposes everything that is wrong about the state we are in now—the free-for-all of company laws which govern directors’ dealings, the toothless regulators, the crime and very little punishment of the Big Four auditors, and a government which is a prisoner of a broken model born of a political ideology which it cannot forsake. Through the story of Carillion, Bob Wylie exposes the lawlessness of contemporary capitalism that is facilitated by hapless politicians, and gives a warning for the future that must be heeded. Bandit Capitalism charts, in jaw-dropping detail, the rise and rise of the British Oligarchy. “An excoriating book on the corruption that can lurk within contemporary capitalism.” —Financial Times, “Best Books of 2020”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the rise, fall and second ascendancy of nuclear power in the United Kingdom. Britain was a pioneer in civil nuclear power and there were once high hopes in the 1950s that this could be a source of cheap electricity and a valuable export opportunity. In The Fall and Rise of Nuclear Power in Britain, Simon Taylor examines why these hopes were never realised, and how we have come to see a new rise in nuclear power in recent years. He traces the UK's nuclear energy history, from the optimism of the 1950s, through the disillusionment of the 1980s, to a new role for nuclear in the 21st century. The construction of Britain's first new nuclear power station in 20 years, Hinkley Point C, marks a major change of policy. Throughout this book, Taylor provides a comprehensive overview of energy policy, economics, politics and changing environmental priorities, keying into debates about the generation and sustainability of this controversial energy source. Will this new nuclear energy turn out to be a heroic story of UK leadership on a matter of global importance, or will it prove a hugely costly folly, as with British nuclear power in the past?

This book was released on 2007-06-06 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the 500 PFI contracts, that are in the operational stage, over half have a provision for periodically testing the value of certain services such as catering and cleaning. In most contracts the exercise will be undertaken every 5-7 years and the value testing could be done either by benchmarking or market testing. This report is based on an examination of the contractual provision of 34 PFI contracts to assess their expected effectiveness. In addition 11 projects that had already undertaken value testing were also examined. It was found that some of the initial cases of value testing showed value for money was being achieved but in other cases the outcome was uncertain.
