The net charges of public-private partnerships (PPP) fell in 2013 over the previous year, but there was an “unfavorable global deviation” of almost 85 million euros compared to the budgeted, according to UTAO.
In its review of 2013 State General Account, to which Lusa had access today, the Technical Unit of Budget Support (UTAO) states that “face to that seen in 2012, in 2013 there was a reduction in net costs incurred with PPP” by 99 million, which corresponds to a contraction of 9.3% year on year.
But despite the annual reduction in costs of PPP in 2013, the execution “had an unfavorable global deviation compared with the initial budget estimate, “writes UTAO.
With regard to the total net charges,” the implementation of deviation was 84.1 million (9.5%) “and this deviation” concentrated -If the level of road PPP (61.9 million) and the health sector PPP (24.1 million). “
With regard to road PPP, gross charges showed a higher implement budgeted in 83.8 million euros (have actually been paid 805 million, up from 721 million originally forecast), also having been higher revenues (were charged 294 million euros instead of 272 million budgeted).
With regard to health PPP, the State Budget for 2013 provided that represent charges of 377 million euros over the year, which turned out to be higher by EUR 24.1 million (6.4%) .
Still, the burden of PPP decreased in 2013 over the previous year, a behavior that is mainly due to road PPP with net charges fell 24.4% in 2013 over the previous year, to to EUR 511 million, a nominal decrease of 165 million euros.
According to UTAO, this reduction of net cost of road PPP was due, first, to a “reduction of 129 million in gross costs of road PPP “and on the other to an” increase of EUR 36 million in revenue from road PPP, including toll. “
However, unlike the which was found in the road PPP, the charges for the health sector increased to 22.9% in 2013 year on year, reaching EUR 401 million, “representing over EUR 75 million that expenditure in the previous year” according to UTAO.
The independent technical support that parliament consider that the annual increase in costs of health care PPP was due to “increased clinical activity of hospitals in operation” and ” operational the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital. “
” The increased clinical activity of health facilities resulted in an annual increase related charges in about 16% and the entry into operation of the new Vila Franca de Xira Hospital building will result in a 62% increase in charges to the infrastructure component, “reads the note.
Now the PPP charges of railways and safety recorded annual reductions in 2013, but “less significant”: the burden on the railway sector fell seven million euros to 10 million and the security PPP fell by two million to 46 million in the case of the security area of PPP .
