Primary acquires Brisbane Private Imaging

Primary Health Care Limited (“Primary”) today announced that it has exchanged contracts for the purchase of Brisbane Private Imaging (“BPI”), the on‐site provider of diagnostic imaging services at Brisbane Private Hospital.

Primary’s Managing Director & CEO, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, said: “This is a great deal for Primary and specifically for our Diagnostic Imaging division. It allows us to expand our services into a key hospital in the Brisbane area and complements our other hospital imaging services across Australia, such as the new Northern Beaches hospital in Sydney.”

Primary’s CEO of Imaging, Dean Lewsam, said: “I am pleased that we have been able to retain the radiologists who currently provide their services at Brisbane Private as our relationships with these expert healthcare practitioners is key to delivering quality healthcare. The acquisition itself underscores the ability of our Imaging business to facilitate great care in hospitals, medical centres and stand‐alone community sites.”

Primary expects the acquisition to provide a significant benefit to the performance of its wholly‐owned subsidiary, Queensland Diagnostic Imaging Pty Limited, which is acquiring BPI, although it will not be material to the Group as a whole.
