In 2004 Bradford & Airedale Care Partnerships Ltd entered into a long term exclusive Public Private Partnership (PPP) with its public sector partners. The PPP was created in Bradford & Airedale as a response to the government’s NHS Plan published in July 2000. The NHS Plan identified that much of the primary health care estate in England was in a poor condition and required modernisation and substantial investment. This modernisation was essential for the delivery of improved and enhanced primary care services. LIFT companies, such as this one, have therefore been created to develop modern, fit for purpose, facilities for primary community and social care users.
