[2] FirstCaribbean International Bank arranged US$124 million financing for the Turks and Caicos Islands Hospitals Public Private Partnership Project.
[6] In January 2014, it was reported that a supplementary allocation of $6.2 million was required by the Ministry of Health to meet further cost of services delivery by the company.
[12] This was one of a number of Independent sector treatment centres established by the Labour Government to reduce waiting lists for elective surgery about which there was considerable controversy and an enquiry by the House of Commons Health Committee.
[14] Pressure was put on local GPs to refer patients to the centre, rather than to NHS hospitals, because the primary care trust had to pay for this activity whether or not it is used and, the contract was worth c£30million pa and generated operating profits for the company in excess of £9m pa.[15] When the contract finished the facility was taken over by Warrington & Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
[16] This was in spite of the centre achieving the highest patient satisfaction ratings of all NHS providers, zero MRSA or C-diff in over 20,000 procedures, and a petition signed by over 10,000 to retain Interhealth Canada as the operator.
