Activists from the 'Solidarity' party in Scotland are reported to have won a ruling before the Information Commissioner for Scotland; allowing full public scrutiny of an NHS PFI contract. This is believed to be the first such ruling and may be regarded as a ground-breaking example throughout the UK in respect of ALL PFI contracts which the Government sought to keep secret on the grounds of 'Commercial Confidentiality'. Kevin Dunion, Scotland's Information Commissioner ruled that the financial details of the deal between Consort Healthcare and NHS Lothian should be published.
