Mind you if HBC can cost mending an allotment tap at £500 it seems quite reasonable.

Yes, it is an actual charge. It was in one of the online newspapers that I read either last week or the week before. It was used as an example of how the PFI is robbing hospitals of money that should be being used for patient care.
It went on to say that providers of the PFI can charge pretty much what they want and the hospital cannot shop around for cheaper services because this was part of the PFI deal
