The project agreement sets out requirements for a transition process when construction of the new hospital is completed. The project company is required to develop a transition plan and a training plan in consultation with the state and the RCH. The company also needs to submit these plans to the state for approval at least 12 months before the target date for stage one technical completion (21 September 2011).
In addition to the requirements of the project agreement, the RCH is expected to develop a 'move' plan to facilitate the relocation and associated organisational change. That plan will outline how RCH will move patients, staff and equipment from the current hospital site to the new hospital as well as how they will deliver hospital services during that transition period.
