Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it last met the PFI operators for each of the three hospitals where PFI contracts are in place to discuss long-term parking arrangements.
Answer
The PFI contracts in place for car parking are held between each of the NHS Boards, NHS Lothian, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and NHS Tayside, and the PFI providers. Therefore discussions with the PFI providers are led by NHS Boards, not the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government attended a meeting between NHS Tayside and the Ninewells Hospital PFI car park operator on 16 December 2020. Further discussions have taken place since that date between NHS Tayside and the PFI car park operator. The Scottish Government has not attended meetings between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lothian and their PFI car park operators.
