Stakeholder consultation requires a good planning phase that includes the development of an agenda. The agenda must focus on the particular concern of an office or institution. It will be worthwhile if a meeting of all stakeholders can be undertaken for transparency and in order to determine as many of the potential eventualities/effects of a PPP in hospital management as possible. Documentation of meetings is crucial. Pertinent materials and data must be available during discussions. Table 1, while not exhaustive, gives an idea on what are the essential information and documents that will help the PPP project developers.
