Strategic Asset Management Plan
The significant asset base available to the Health system needs to be managed efficiently, effectively and appropriately. The gradual ageing of the assets, the growth and diversity of investment, and the changing expectations and technologies prompting the renewal and refurbishment of assets, add to the cost of providing health services. These costs must be controlled, with appropriate risk management and increased flexibility in the usage of assets, so that the service delivery is maintained at appropriate levels.
The State Asset Management Plan explains the major asset related reforms and strategies, in this context. The State Plan is an integral part of the Department's resource planning and is targeted to:
- Effective and efficient use of resources.
- Value for money when creating assets.
- The provision of information for asset related decision
making.
- Clarity in governance and asset management performance
requirements.
The State Plan addresses the detail of the asset portfolio,
strategies for its realignment to meet services gaps, asset
maintenance requirements, disposal strategies, resource implications
and monitoring processes.
