The PFI project is expected to deliver the required improvements

1.6  The PFI project involves demolition and new build for the most dilapidated Victorian buildings. Bywest will also carry out extensive refurbishment of newer, existing buildings, with a capital cost of some £12.2 million. This work will be funded from land sales, rather than by unitary payments under the PFI deal. In addition, the Trust awarded Ecovert, part of the Bywest consortium, a contract for facilities management, worth some £800,000 a year for two years before the unitary payments begin.
