Further private and public hospital cooperation authorised

The ACCC has granted interim authorisation to NT and SA private hospitals and health agencies to cooperate, following similar earlier authorisations in Victoria and Queensland.

‘The ACCC’s interim authorisations granted today will allow public and private hospital operators in each jurisdiction to work with each other and relevant health agencies during the current health crisis by, for example, discussing expected capacity and demand for services, jointly procuring and distributing medical equipment and supplies, and sharing staff.‘
