The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract for the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (built for ~£180 million in 2003) is expected to cost NHS Lothian roughly £1.1 billion to £1.26 billion in total repayments by the time the main contract expires in 2027. Even that is not the full cost, as a buy-back clause comes into effect, where another fee has to be agreed to transfer the hospital into public hands.
The people are being robbed blind. Labour has been a disaster for Scotland.
