PUBLIC
SERVICE CONTRACTS — NO-FAULT CLAUSES
1112. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the new no-fault provision clauses used in Britain
for contracts with prospective private operators of public services such as
Serco. These clauses state that in the event the state wishes to cancel
contracts, the private operator is compensated for its expected profits over
the life of the entire contract. This is in contrast to traditional no-fault
clauses currently used in the United Kingdom, which compensate for between 12
and 18 months of expected profits.
(1) What is a
typical compensation period for no-fault termination clauses in government
contracts with private operators at Fiona Stanley Hospital and Midland Health
Campus?
(2) Can the
government confirm that there are no similar no-fault clauses in the Fiona
Stanley Hospital and Midland Health Campus contracts, both of which are 20 and
23 years respectively?
(3) If no to (2),
why not?
(4) If yes to
(2), can the minister reassure the public that the government will not
introduce no-fault clauses into new or renewed contracts with these operators?

I do not have a copy of that question. I received quite a few
answers today, but that was not one of them. If it does come in before question
time finishes, I will try to answer.
