Some 70 PFI projects have been given support either in the form of funding or expert help. Those receiving revenue support include nine schools projects; two waste management schemes and the first two libraries to be financed under the PFI.Expert help for projects comes in the form of an input from the Treasury Task Force. They assist in the project development, but their crucial role is in quality assurance, which is the area where earlier projects were weak.
