The final contract with Healthscope is expected to be completed by the end of this year, and Northern Sydney Local Health District will enter into a long-term partnership with Healthscope to provide public patient services over the next 20 years.

The public portion of the hospital can be handed back to the NSW Government at no additional cost at the end of the contract period.

Healthscope will have a further 20 years to provide services to private patients before the remaining part of the hospital can also be returned.
