Reporting boundary
A privately financed and developed health research and treatment building (developer Commercial and General; SAHMRI and ABCPTR as tenants), not a government hospital build. The SA Government's exposure is via land, an overrun-sharing deed, leases and grants rather than a capital appropriation. The proton therapy system contract was terminated in October 2024. Extracted from Report 3 of 2025, a different report from the October 2025 annual report.
