Business cases must be robust and well-conceived

Conor Ellis, head of Healthcare at Rider Levett Bucknall, discusses the need for robust business cases in winning a share of the dwindling capital ‘pot’ for financing new healthcare schemes.

In an article in August’s HEJ, Conor Ellis, head of Healthcare at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB UK), argued that with less real healthcare capital expenditure now available in the UK, healthcare providers would need, in future, to be ‘increasingly self-reliant’ for project capital. Here he discusses the need for robust business cases – which exhibit the potential for transformational change – in winning a share of this dwindling capital ‘pot’ to finance new schemes.

We all know that demand, aligned to expenditure on healthcare, is continuing to drive the need for service transformation, which consequently raises the question with stakeholders of ‘How are we going to make our projects deliverable and affordable?’ 

At RLB we recently ran a number of healthcare clinics in conjunction with key speakers from NHSI, discussing and debating exactly this issue – of how to deliver world-leading health services in an environment of diminishing investment.
