Regardless of whether they wish to replace EPAS with our working system is irrelevant.
Sure, it would be fantastic don't get me wrong but not a requirement.

ALC have made it clear that their strategy will involve hitting 1 hospital for example and branching of to their sister hospitals (or group) in a fast, aggressive type manner.

What is relevant is that ALC continue to hit the private health care groups and establish a footprint not just in Australia or NZ but around the world.

ALC is now in discussions to break the North American market with a MAJOR health care player. If they pull that off it will open many doors internationally which will put ALC in the eyes of many.

EPAS in my opinion will be replaced. It may take a bunch of private hospitals to build enough support and backing by everyone to convince the Government to show some face and make a change to the currently ridiculous system in place. It's only a matter of time.
It's not a matter of why it's a matter of when they choose to take the Alcidion path.
