Ramsay Health Care, the only larger private hospital operator in the country, is likely to be one of the beneficiaries of Healthscope’s financial distress, which should make more doctors and nurses available to it.Macquarie analysts said Ramsay could potentially acquire Northwest’s portfolio of 12 Healthscope hospitals, which it estimated would be worth $453 million. They also said Ramsay could separately acquire key Healthscope assets such as Prince of Wales and Knox Private.“We see the demise of [Healthscope] supporting industry utilisation with the potential closure of sites reducing bed numbers and improving nurse/doctor availability,” Macquarie analysts Christine Trinh and Andrew Buncombe said in an analysis of the potential opportunities for Ramsay.Ramsay has declined to comment, as did Di Pilla.Healthscope has been trying to buy more time by getting health insurers to tip in more funding and seeking rent relief from the companies that own its hospitals. The federal government has refused to bail out hospitals struggling with soaring costs and falling patient numbers.
