Unit 3: Public Private Partnerships

Once again, Thank you to Riz for finding this article on the issues with bringing in private firms to provide a public service.

It raises a few excellent evaluation points. Firstly, are governments asking too much of a company that naturally wants to profit maximise when the government wants best service possible. Secondly, are the government contracts too lenient for private firms.....if this was a private hospital, it would close (as they have made a loss). The obvious issue with this is what happens if you are sick or have an accident in Hitchinbooke?
