PEEL HEALTH CAMPUS — CONTRACT RENEGOTIATION
86. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Did
Ramsay Health Care seek any concessions from the government before it purchased
the contract from Health Solutions (WA), including whether the contract would
be rolled over subject to the purchase; and, is the minister today confirming
that a private–public comparator will not be done in relation to the
hospital's operating arrangement?

The answer to the question is no. No assurances from
government were sought in terms of the potential extension of the lease and the
proposals that were put forward by Health Solutions to government. In fact, I
had very little involvement. Most of those discussions occurred during
caretaker mode and they occurred with the director general, not with me. We do
private sector comparators when we look at changing and whether we go out to
the private sector as opposed to retaining something within the public sector.
That decision was made when Peel Health Campus was first established and we
have no intention of doing that again.
