That article dates from 2011. PFI is being phased out. Look at the graph in section A here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/504374/PFI_PF2_projects_2015_summary_data.pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... PFI reached its peak in 2007. Current number of deals being added are at the level they were at in 1995. It's worth asking why any new deals are being signed at all, but when we're down to the level of 8 per year (vs 65 at the peak of New Labour) it's fair to say that they're much less popular than they once were.
