Resources
Some of the additional resources identified are seen in terms of investment
perspectives and support of the Australian government. As a healthcare facility there may be
a requirement of long-term debt borrowings and in such situations the government must
provide adequate financing options to the healthcare Centre.

The monitoring process of outcomes related to savings and increased costs for the
proposal will be done by the board of directors of the company. In addition to this, the
reporting duration will be done on an annual basis.
Financial Information
Refer to attachment 2
Conclusion
The different aspects of the reporting have shown that the main purpose of proceeding
with the business case is to not only provide a healthcare facility but also encourage people in
actively taking part in their own health check-ups. In addition to this, at the LHD level, the
