Appointment of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
The Board of Primary Health Care Limited (“Primary”) announced today that it has appointed Dr Malcolm Parmenter as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (“MD & CEO”) of the Company, effective 6 September 2017. In the meantime, Mr Peter Gregg will continue in this role.
Mr Rob Ferguson, Chairman of Primary, welcomed the appointment stating: “We have undertaken a thorough internal and external selection process, which identified several excellent candidates, and I have great pleasure in announcing Dr Parmenter as the new MD & CEO of Primary.
“Malcolm brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in the operation of medical centres in Australia, with over nine years’ tenure as CEO of Independent Practitioner Network Limited (“IPN”), both as a listed company and under the ownership of Sonic Healthcare Limited (“Sonic”), and subsequently two years as CEO of Sonic Clinical Services.
“Malcolm’s experience in healthcare policy regulation is extensive. He was most recently a member of the Federal Health Minister’s Primary Healthcare Advisory Group into chronic and complex illnesses. He has also been a member of the senior executive committee of Sonic Pathology.
“With Malcolm’s long involvement in the healthcare sector and his proven track record, the Primary Board is delighted to appoint Malcolm to this role. We believe he is an excellent fit for Primary and is ideally placed to lead the Company through the next stage of its evolution,” Mr Ferguson concluded.
Dr Parmenter said: “I am honoured and excited to be appointed as MD & CEO of Primary. This company has a great footprint of healthcare assets in Australia. It is undergoing a strategic transformation while focusing on improving cash flow and return on investment.
“Furthermore, the healthcare sector in Australia remains one with strong underlying growth and real opportunities from innovation in technology. Efficient players who can both capitalise on the fundamentals and drive change will thrive.”
