PFI in Wales Pollutes Rhrodris 'Clear' red water

Rhrodri Morgan and New Labour in Wales are not entirely honest when it comes to PFI and there has been no discernible discussion with the voters of Wales and we must also ask how many people know about the use of PFI in Wales.

Wales has 40 PFI Wales Projects: with a Total Captial Value: £1,033 m
PFI projects . Energy management, healthcare and road projects are typical examples of the projects procured and schools ; (March 2006)

The Wales Office’s IT equipment is provided and supported by Siemens Business Services (SBS) under a PFI contract which is held by the National Assembly for Wales. Information and Communications Technology equipment and services are provided to the Wales Office by the National Assembly for Wales under a Service Delivery Agreement. The Wales Office does not therefore own its IT equipment, or hold the contract for its provision.

UNISON Jan 2006 highlight a new form of PPP to build and develop health centres and surgeries NHS LIFT is a public-private partnership (PPP)
to redevelop and replace primary care facilities (buildings like health centres and GP surgeries).
LIFT was launched in 2001 and there are now 51 LIFT schemes in England, involving 155 out of
303 PCTs. .........there are plans to introduce it in Wales and Northern Ireland.
LIFT involves several PCTs4 coming together to select a ‘private sector partner’ and form a local LIFT company (LIFTCo), which will build, own and maintain the new buildings. Mental health trusts (MHTs) and local authorities may also be involved. LIFTCos are companies limited by share capital – i.e. private companies run to make a profit, but not publicly traded on the stock exchange.

St Athans to save new labour letter

How many new jobs will be created?The decision to privatise the training of the UKs Armed Forces has drawn an angry response from the Public and Commercial Services Union, which warned the plans would result in a brain drain jeopardising future defence capability and see 2,000 staff transferred into a compulsory redundancy situation.
The £19bn contract handed to the Metrix consortium by the Ministry of Defence will see training in everything from tank driving to technology handed to the private sector in a deal resulting in the closure of more than 19 sites with training centred on one site at St Athan.
The union raised doubts about the number of new jobs that would actually be created by Metrix in Wales with existing staff transferring to St Athan from around the country.
The union also warned of a loss of specialist knowledge and expertise with 80 per cent of specialist instructional officers indicating that they would be unwilling to move from across the country to St Athan.
Mark Serwotka, PCS general secretary said: 'The only winners in the privatisation of defence training are the shareholders of the Metrix consortium.
'The massive privatisation will further anger dedicated staff already facing job losses and below inflation pay, making a yes vote for national industrial action across the civil service increasingly likely.'
This is a blatant attempt to save the Labour party prior to the National Assembly elections.
