1.1 In this Part we explain how the two Carillion hospital projects were set up and the issues that they had up to 2018 when Carillion collapsed. We set out:
• Carillion and its collapse;
• the hospital projects;
• the use of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and its successor PF2;
• contingency planning for the failure of Carillion; and
• progress before Carillion's collapse.
