Lord Hutton writes of the NHS health centres that have been built thanks to private finance (Letters, 23 November). In Didcot we’ve been waiting more than 10 years for the Great Western Park health centre. The return on investment required by the developer is greater than the NHS will reimburse. The local integrated care board fears that at that cost they’ll not get a GP practice to take on the health centre.

• Congratulations on the print-edition headline “Lights, Canberra, no action”, about England’s beaten cricketers not playing in the Australian capital (24 November). It reminded me of my all-time favourite in the Guardian when Zaheer Abbas began the county cricket season in 1981 by scoring 1,000 runs in one month: “Happy days Zaheer again”. Genius.
