Abstract
Italy's health service—the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN)—has developed Europe's second largest market for healthcare public–private partnerships. This article describes the origins of private finance for SSN infrastructure, examines the programme's scale and key characteristics, and provides a capital budgeting analysis of rates of return on 14 privately financed schemes. Excess returns are being made by the investors in these projects, and there is potential for SSN procurers to achieve significantly better value for money for the Italian people than has been the case to date.
