Non-government operators are being sought to redevelop and run five regional public hospitals across New South Wales. Health Minister Jillian Skinner has told Parliament expressions of interest are being sought from non-government operators to redevelop and run the Maitland, Wyong, Goulburn and Shellharbour hospitals and provide services at Bowral Hospital.

Under the partnership plan, the winning bidders would construct the hospitals then run them on behalf of the State Government. The Minister insisted non-government operators would have the same obligations to the state as public hospital operators and would have to meet the same standards of service.
