QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the eight-year agreement entered into between the State Government and Aegis Health to lease four floors of the Medihotel in Murdoch. Given that the original agreement between the State Government and Fini Group, provided for the developer to fund the construction of the Medihotel and then contract private healthcare provider Aegis will operate it, I ask: (a) What is the value of the lease agreement; (b) Does the lease agreement include a component of compensation to either Fini or Aegis, or any of their entities, for revenue lost because they will not be operating the Medihotel; (c) Is there a separate agreement with either Fini or Aegis, or any of their entities, to compensate for revenue lost as a result of the State Government's decision to operate the Medihotel itself; (d) If yes, what is the value of this compensation agreement; (e) Is the cost of the lease agreement included in the $98.6 million listed in the last State Budget to operationalise the Murdoch Medihotel; and (f) Does the $98.6 million to operationalise the Murdoch Medihotel listed in the most recent State Budget include a sum which could be considered as compensation to any entity resulting from the State Government's decision to operate the Medihotel itself?
