FACTS

Combined cost of the two hospitals Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich and the Princess Royal Hospital Bromley

·        Total building cost £210 million

·        Annual Payment £61 million which is over 14% of their income

·        Amount paid so far £535 million

Who IS responsible for the blatant rip off of the PFI (Private Finance Initiative) deals which have caused the bankruptcy of our hospitals?

·         NOT the people of Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley

·         NOT the NHS Staff

Who are the decision makers?

IF THEY CAN PAY OFF THE BANKERS THEY CAN PAY OFF OUR PFI DEBT.

WE THE TAX PAYERS DEMAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT

·         Stops the exploitation and profiteering of the OUR health service.

·         Pays off the PFI debt and cancels the contract WITH NO COMPENSATION.

·         No asset-stripping

·         Restore our Hospital Trust to a publicly-funded, publicly-accountable and publicly-provided NHS
