Regarding the value for money review, colleagues in my party and I have always said that PPPs do not deliver any value for money. In some regards, Departments and Ministers have been slow in coming to that position, but the timing of this was horrendous, given the fact that work on these units was due to commence. Regarding bundles 4 and 5 - I believe there were to be up to seven bundles - is there a similar review process or does this decision effectively kill off the remainder of the bundles using this particular model?
