5: Increasing PPPs to support elective recovery NHS England should publish a set of guidelines for how the Government’s commitments in the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy for more PPPs will be translated into building more capacity to deliver elective recovery. Learning should be taken from those NHS and independent sector organisations who have already been able to make such arrangements work within the current accounting rules.
Response to the report Commenting on the report, David Hare, CEO of the Independent Healthcare Providers Network, said: “As the recent 10-Year Plan for Health made painstakingly clear, the NHS’s capital regime is in desperate need of reform, with a lack of investment in services severely hampering both healthcare productivity and patients’ access to care.

That is why we would welcome many of the recommendations in this report, including updating the Treasury’s Green Book guidance, to
clarify the off–balance sheet capital investment mechanisms available to senior NHS leaders to stimulate PPPs. This report shows that there is a widening consensus between the public and private sector on creating a new wave of partnerships to inject vital funding into the health service.”
