Reporting boundary
Single named tertiary hospital on one site. Three scope boundaries matter when using these figures. (1) The $1.76 billion capital budget 'covers the construction of the hospital and a proportion of the furniture, fittings and equipment (FF&E). It does not cover all the costs of delivering an operational hospital' - ICT and the balance of FF&E sit outside it, and transition, facilities management, workforce planning, recruitment and training sit in WA Health recurrent budgets. (2) A 140 bed State rehabilitation service inside the FSH site was funded separately with $255.7 million of Australian Government money and its construction was explicitly outside the 2010 examination's scope. (3) The FSH non-clinical services (facilities management) contract is a separate operating procurement, not capital: the 2010 report puts it at 'an estimated value of $2.5 billion over 20 years' (printed p12), and the 2017 follow-up reports the contract signed with Serco Australia Pty Ltd in July 2011 at 'an estimated contract value of $4.3 billion over 20 years' comprising '$3.7 billion to the FM for planning and delivering non-clinical services at FSH' and '$577 million for hospital equipment provided through a finance lease arrangement' (Report 14 of 2017, printed p6). Those FM figures are deliberately NOT recorded as capital facts. Also note WA Health disputed the 2004-05 baseline in its formal response (printed p9): 'The use of the 2004/05 amount of cost and time as a starting budget is flawed in my view. The announcements in 2004/05 were simply statements of intent. The time and cost information approved by the Expenditure Review Committee in September 2005 is the first approved budget and timeline for this project.' Merged from 4 records that described this project, each read from a different document. Every fact keeps its own source.
