Subject: Discussion Paper – Development of a new Act to regulate private hospitals and day procedure centres

Dear Stakeholder

As you are aware the Department of Health is developing a new Act to regulate private hospitals and day procedure centres. The department has
today released a discussion paper seeking submissions prior to the drafting of the new Act.

The department is consulting as widely as possible in the expectation that it will lead to better and more informed decision making and the development
of an Act that will serve the community and the sector well for the next 20 years.
The aim is to have a regulatory framework that addresses matters that require regulation from a patient safety and community expectation
standpoint, but does not impose unnecessary compliance burdens on the sector nor impede innovation in service development and delivery.

This discussion paper invites all stakeholders, including the private healthcare sector and the wider community, to provide a response to the
questions and comment on the proposals suggested. Written submissions are invited addressing (but not limited to) the issues and questions raised in
the discussion paper.

The discussion paper can be accessed at:
http://www.health.vic.gov.au/privatehospitals/regulations_review.htm
Hard copies of the discussion paper are available on request.

The closing date for submissions is 15 May 2013

Submission should be emailed to privatehospitals@health.vic.gov.au

or posted to:
The Manager
Private Health Services Regulation Unit
