BLACKROCK MOVES INTO NHS PROPERTY This is real, and people should pay attention. BlackRock and the Greater Manchester Pension Fund have launched a joint venture targeting an initial £1 billion portfolio of NHS leased real estate assets. Reports say the venture starts with 65 modern primary care sites serving more than 700,000 patients across England, Scotland and Wales. This is about primary healthcare property linked to GP and NHS services. It does not prove that BlackRock will own NHS hospitals forever. It does show that private finance is moving deeper into the property behind public healthcare. That matters because the public should be told exactly how this works. Who owns what. Who collects rent. What returns are expected. How long the arrangements run. What risks sit behind the deal. If public healthcare property is being turned into an investment vehicle, the public deserves the full structure in plain English.
