TREASURER’S REPORT_______________________________________________________________________The year commenced and ended with a great deal of time being expended on the administrationand management of the tax system. The compliance component of the Goods and Services Tax,and to a lesser degree, the Fringe Benefits and Pay As You Go taxes absorbed significant staffresources.Expenses for the year were $777.863 million compared to the $789.786 million budget. Thefavourability for the year was $11.923 million of which $9.1 million was this year’s budgetedallocation to the Resource Transition Program. The year’s outgoings were within $1.8 million(0.23%) of the expenditure of a year earlier.The recurrent contribution to the Resource Transition Program this year is our largest, and wasonly possible because of the unusual 27 th pay in the prior financial year.The Revenue budget of $230.718 million was exceeded by $6.188 million.The overall Net Cost of Services of $538.166 million was $17.752 million favourable to the$555.918 million budget target. This includes all Trusts, Grants and Special Purposes.The Equity at June <strong>2000</strong> was $559.999 million – that sum increased $88.223 million to$648.222 million in the year 20<strong>01</strong>.Again this year the provision of services to other (<strong>NSW</strong>) area health services was significant; theywere costed at $120.685 million (up $2.9<strong>01</strong> million on last year). Those sums compare with the$53.777 million worth of services ($53.183 million in the year <strong>2000</strong>) provided to CSAHS residentsby other area health services.The capital outlay in the rebuilding of the Area’s facilities for the year was $126 million.Again this year I extend my congratulations to the staff of the Area <strong>Health</strong> Service on delivering anexcellent result.Maria PethardCSAHS <strong>2000</strong>/20<strong>01</strong> Statutory <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 65

Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>1. Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> Service <strong>Report</strong>ing EntityCentral <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> Service (CSAHS) was established on 1 August 1988. CSAHS incorporates andmanages all the operating activities of the following hospitals, community health services and other facilitiesunder its control:C Royal Prince Alfred HospitalC Concord Repatriation General HospitalC Balmain HospitalC Canterbury HospitalC <strong>Health</strong>QuestC <strong>NSW</strong> Institute of Forensic MedicineC Population <strong>Health</strong>C Institute of Rheumatology and OrthopaedicsC Rozelle HospitalC Thomas Walker HospitalC United Dental Hospital• ANZAC <strong>Health</strong> and Medical Research FoundationIn addition, the following Affiliated <strong>Health</strong> Organisations are associated by special arrangements with CSAHS:CCCentral <strong>Sydney</strong> Scarba ServiceTresillian Family Care CentresThe Centre for Education and Information on Drugs and Alcohol (CEIDA) was transferred to <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong>Department from 1 July <strong>2000</strong>.The Financial Statements encompass the activities of the General Fund and the controlled segment of theSpecial Purposes and Trust Fund. As CSAHS cannot use the uncontrolled segment of the latter fund to achieveits objectives, the cash balances and activity of that segment are disclosed by way of a note to the financialstatements. Within the controlled segment of the Special Purposes and Trust Fund there are assets restricted tospecific uses by donors but nonetheless controlled by CSAHS.The primary objectives of CSAHS are to protect, promote and maintain the health of Central <strong>Sydney</strong> residentsand to provide state and nationwide health services, research and training.Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated accounts are those of the consolidated entity, comprising CSAHS (the chief entity), and itscontrolled entity, ANZAC <strong>Health</strong> and Medical Research Foundation.In the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements for the economic entity consisting of thecontrolling and controlled entity, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.The ANZAC <strong>Health</strong> and Medical Research Foundation is a controlled entity of CSAHS by virtue of CSAHS’scapacity to control the casting of the majority of the votes at meetings of the governing body of the Foundation.The Foundation is incorporated in Australia as a company limited by guarantee under the Corporations Act 20<strong>01</strong>,and it is an economic entity whose principal activity is research. The beneficial interest held by CSAHS is 100%.The revenue of the Foundation for the year was $1,087,131 (<strong>2000</strong> $945,823), expenditure was $921,792 (<strong>2000</strong>$357,199) and the surplus was $165,339 (<strong>2000</strong> $588,624).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesCentral <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>CSAHS’s Financial Statements are a general purpose financial report which has been prepared on an accrualsbasis in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of theAustralian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), UIG Consensus Views and the requirements of the <strong>Health</strong>Services Act 1997 and its regulations including observation of the Accounts and Audit Determination for Area<strong>Health</strong> Services and Public Hospitals.Where there are inconsistencies between the above requirements, the legislative provisions have prevailed.Statements of Accounting Concepts are used as guidance in the absence of applicable Accounting Standards,other mandatory professional requirements and legislative requirements.Except for certain land and buildings and plant and equipment, which are recorded at valuation, the financialstatements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention. All amounts are rounded to thenearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency.Other significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:(a)<strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department AllocationsPayments are made by the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department on the basis of the net allocation for CSAHS asadjusted for approved supplementations, mostly for salary agreements, patient flows between <strong>Health</strong>Services and other States and approved enhancement projects. This allocation is included in theStatement of Financial Performance before arriving at the Result from Ordinary Activities on the basisthat the allocation is earned in return for the health services provided in <strong>2000</strong>/20<strong>01</strong> on behalf of theDepartment.General operating expenses/revenues of Affiliated <strong>Health</strong> Organisations ie Tresillian Family CareCentres and Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Scarba Service have only been included in the Statement of FinancialPerformance to the extent of the net cash payments made to the facilities concerned. CSAHS is notdeemed to own or control the various assets/liabilities of the aforementioned Affiliated <strong>Health</strong>Organisations and such amounts have been excluded from the Statement of Financial Position. Anyexceptions are specifically listed in the notes that follow.The <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department has implemented a policy of net appropriation with all revenues earnedbeing retained at CSAHS level and, with <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department Cash Payments, applied to offset netexpenditure.Capital Allocations have been treated as revenue in these financial statements and have been brought toaccount after Net Cost of Services.(b)Employee EntitlementsThe elements of the entitlements are: salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave, sick leaveand on-costs.Liabilities for salaries and wages, annual leave, vesting sick leave and related on-costs are recognisedand measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees’services up to that date.Long Service Leave measurement is based on the remuneration rates at year end for all employees withfive or more years of service. It is considered that this measurement technique produces results notmaterially different from the estimate determined by using the present value basis of measurement.Employee leave entitlements are dissected between the “Current” and “Non Current” components on thebasis of anticipated payments for the next 12 months. This in turn is based on past trends and knownresignations and retirements.Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sickleave taken in the future will be greater than the entitlements accrued in the future.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>The outstanding amounts of workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, whichare consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employeeentitlements to which they relate have been recognised.Under the Leave Mobility provisions applicable in the Government Sector from May 1993, CSAHS paidand received monies in respect of employee leave transferred.(c)SuperannuationCSAHS’s liability for superannuation is assumed by the Crown Entity. CSAHS accounts for the liability ashaving been extinguished resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part of the non-monetaryrevenue item described as “Acceptance by the Crown Entity of Superannuation Liability”.The superannuation expense for the financial year is determined by using the formulae specified by the<strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department. The expense for certain superannuation schemes (ie. Basic Benefit and FirstState Superannuation) is calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salary. For other superannuationschemes (ie. State Superannuation Scheme and State Authorities Superannuation Scheme), theexpense is calculated as a multiple of the employees’ superannuation contributions.In the eight years ending 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>, since Concord Repatriation General Hospital was absorbed intoCSAHS, the superannuation expenditure associated with those staff who have remained in the FederalSuperannuation Fund was paid by <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department. That expenditure totalled $5.684 million in<strong>2000</strong>/<strong>01</strong> and $6.877 million in 1999/00.(d)InsuranceCSAHS’s insurance activities are conducted through the <strong>NSW</strong> Treasury Managed Fund Scheme of selfinsurance for Government agencies. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager basedon past experience.(e)Revenue RecognitionRevenue arising from the sale of goods, the provision of services and the use of CSAHS’s assets isrecognised when:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)CSAHS has passed control of the goods or other assets to the buyer;CSAHS controls a right to be compensated for services rendered;CSAHS controls a right relating to the consideration payable for the provision of investmentassets;it is probable that the economic benefits comprising the consideration will flow to the entity; andthe amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.Patient FeesPatient Fees are derived from chargeable inpatients and non-inpatients on the basis of rates specified bythe <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department from time to time.Debt ForgivenessIn accordance with the provisions of Australian Accounting Standard AAS23 debts are accounted for asextinguished when and only when settlement occurs through repayment or replacement by anotherliability or the debt is subject to a legal defeasance.
Use of Hospital FacilitiesCentral <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>Specialist doctors with rights of private practice are charged an infrastructure fee for the use of hospitalfacilities at rates determined by the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department and are based on fees collected.Use of Outside FacilitiesCSAHS uses a number of facilities owned and maintained by the local authorities in the area to delivercommunity health services, for which no charges are raised by the authorities. The cost method ofaccounting is used for the initial recording of all such services with cost being determined as the fairvalue of the services given which is then duly recognised as both revenue and matching expense.(f)Goods and Services Tax (GST)Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:• the amount of GST incurred by the agency as a purchaser that is not recoverable from theAustralian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part ofan item of expense;• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included;• the Statement of Cash Flows has been grossed up for the GST.(g)Inter Area and Interstate Patient FlowsCSAHS recognised the flow of acute inpatients from the area in which they are resident to other areaswithin the State and across Australia. The expense and revenue values reported within the financialstatements have been based on 1999/<strong>2000</strong> activity data using standard cost weighted separation valuesto reflect estimated costs in <strong>2000</strong>/<strong>01</strong> for acute weighted inpatient separations. Where treatment isobtained outside the home health service the area providing the service is reimbursed by the benefitingArea.The reporting adopted also aims to provide a greater accuracy of the cost of service provision to theArea’s resident population and disclose the extent to which service is provided to non-residents.The adjustments have no effect on equity values as the movement in Net Cost of Services is matched bya corresponding adjustment to the value of the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department Recurrent Allocation.In <strong>2000</strong>/<strong>01</strong> calculation of the patient flows has been amended to include the flows to/from otherAustralian States and Territories. (Refer Note 2w)The composition of patient flow revenue/expense is disclosed in Notes 4 and 9.(h)Research and Development CostsResearch and development costs are charged to expense in the year in which they are incurred.(i)Acquisition of AssetsThe cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled byCSAHS. Cost is determined as the fair value of assets given as consideration plus costs incidental to theacquisition.Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenuesat their fair value at the date of acquisition.Fair value means the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willingbuyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future arediscounted to their present value at the acquisition date. The discount rate used is the incrementalborrowing rate, being the rate at which similar borrowing could be obtained.Land and Buildings which are owned by the <strong>Health</strong> Administration Corporation or the State andadministered by CSAHS are deemed to be controlled by CSAHS and are reflected as such in thefinancial statements.Construction in Progress is carried at cost and relates to Capital Work on the redevelopment of theResource Transition Program and miscellaneous projects.(j)Plant and EquipmentIndividual items of plant and equipment costing $5,000 or more are capitalised.(k)DepreciationDepreciation is provided for on a straight line basis against all depreciable assets so as to write off thedepreciable amount of each depreciable asset as it is consumed over its useful life to CSAHS. Land isnot considered a depreciable asset.Property, Plant and Equipment have been depreciated from not later than the month following acquisitionor operation. Depreciation rates on individual assets are reviewed annually.Details of depreciation rates for major asset categories are as follows:Buildings 0.2% - 2.8%Electro Medical Equipment- Costing less than $200,000 10.0%- Costing more than or equal to $200,000 12.5%Computer Equipment 20.0%Computer Software 20.0%Office Equipment 10.0% -12.5%Plant and Machinery 10.0%Furniture, Fittings and Furnishings 10.0%Linen 20.0% - 33.3%Motor Vehicles - Trucks, Buses and Vans 20.0%(l)Revaluation of Physical Non Current AssetsBuildings and improvements and infrastructure assets (excluding land) are valued on the basis of theestimated written down replacement cost of the most appropriate modern equivalent replacement facilityhaving a similar service potential to the existing asset. Land is valued on an existing use basis.Plant and equipment are carried at net book value, which management has assessed to approximatewritten down replacement cost. Construction in progress is shown at cost. Land and buildings surplus toCSAHS’s requirements are stated at market value.Land and buildings are revalued every 5 years by independent valuation. The last such revaluation wascompleted as at 1 July 1997.In accordance with Treasury policy, CSAHS has applied the AAS38 “Revaluation of Non Current Assets”transitional provisions for the public sector and has elected to apply the same revaluation basis as thepreceding reporting period, while the relationship between fair value and the existing valuation basis inthe <strong>NSW</strong> public sector is further examined. It is expected however, that in most instances the currentvaluation methodology will approximate fair value.Where assets are revalued upward or downward using the replacement cost basis, CSAHS restatesseparately the gross amount and the related accumulated depreciation of that class of assets.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>The recoverable amount test has not been applied as CSAHS is a not-for-profit entity whose servicepotential is not related to the ability to generate net cash inflows.Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, except that, to the extentthat an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of that class of asset previouslyrecognised as an expense in the “result for the year from ordinary activities”, the increment is recognisedimmediately as revenue in the “result for the year from ordinary activities”.Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as expenses in the “result for the year from ordinaryactivities” except that, to the extent that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation reserve in respectof the same class of assets, they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.Revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-currentassets, but not otherwise.(m)Maintenance and RepairsThe costs of maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except where they relate to thereplacement of a component of an asset in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.(n)Leased AssetsA distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lesseesubstantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased assets, and operating leasesunder which the lessor effectively retains all such risks and benefits. CSAHS has no finance leases. Itdoes however, have a number of operating leases for buildings and office equipment and motor vehicles.Operating lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance in the periods in whichthey are incurred.(o)InventoriesAll inventories have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned toindividual items of stock mainly on a weighted average cost basis.Obsolete items are disposed of in accordance with instructions issued by the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department.(p)InvestmentsMarketable securities and deposits are valued at cost unless specifically stated in Note 17. Nonmarketable securities are brought to account at cost.For non-current investments, revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.Revaluation decrements are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance except to the extentthat the decrement reverses an increment previously credited to the asset revaluation reserve, in whichcase it is debited to the asset revaluation reserve.For current investments, revaluation increments and decrements are recognised in the Statement ofFinancial Performance.Interest revenues are recognised as they accrue.(q)Administrative RestructuringThe transfer of net assets between agencies as a result of administrative restructuring is treated as adirect adjustment to the opening balance of “Accumulated Funds”.Transfer of the net assets of CEIDA was effected to the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department on 1 July <strong>2000</strong>. Thetransfer of $1.210 million in net assets has been treated as a direct adjustment to the opening balance ofAccumulated Funds. Details of assets and liabilities transferred are disclosed in note 24.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>(r)Financial InstrumentsFinancial instruments give rise to positions that are a financial asset of either CSAHS or its counterpartyand a financial liability (or equity instrument) of the other party. For CSAHS these include cash at bank,receivables, other financial assets and payables.In accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AAS33, “Presentation and Disclosure of FinancialInstruments”, information is disclosed in Note 34 in respect of the credit risk and interest rate risk offinancial instruments. All such amounts are carried in the accounts at net fair value. The specificaccounting policy in respect of each class of such financial instrument is stated hereunder.Classes of instruments recorded at cost and their terms and conditions at balance date are as follows:(i)CashAccounting Policies - Cash is carried at nominal values reconcilable to monies on hand andindependent bank statements.Terms and Conditions - Monies on deposit attract an interest rate ranging from 4.70% to 6.98%(4.05% to 5.3% in 1999/00).(ii)ReceivablesAccounting Policies - Receivables are carried at nominal amounts due less any provision fordoubtful debts. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when collection of the full nominalamount is no longer probable.Terms and Conditions - Accounts are issued on 7 and 30 day terms.(iii)InvestmentsAccounting Policies - <strong>NSW</strong> Treasury Corporation Hour Glass investments are stated at the lowerof cost and net realisable value. Interest is recognised in the Statement of FinancialPerformance when earned.Terms and Conditions - Deposits with effective interest rates of 4.55% to 9.32%.(iv)PayablesAccounting Policies — Payables are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goodsand services received, whether or not billed to the <strong>Health</strong> Service.Terms and Conditions — Trade liabilities are settled within any terms specified. If no terms arespecified, payment is made by the end of the month following the month in which the invoice isreceived.There are no classes of instruments which are recorded at other than cost or market valuation.All financial instruments including revenue, expenses and other cash flows arising from instruments arerecognised on an accruals basis.(s)PayablesThese amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the agency and other amounts,including interest. Interest is accrued over the period it becomes due.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>(t)Trust FundsCSAHS receives monies in a trustee capacity for various trusts as set out in Note 26. As CSAHSperforms only a custodial role in respect of these monies, and because the monies cannot be used forthe achievement of CSAHS’ own objectives, they are not brought to account in the financial statements.(u)Reclassification of financial informationAs a result of applying AAS1 “Statement of Financial Performance” and AAS36 “Statement of FinancialPosition”, the format of the Statement of Financial Performance (previously referred to as the OperatingStatement) and the Statement of Financial Position has been amended. As a result of applying theseAccounting Standards, a number of comparative amounts were represented or reclassified to ensurecomparability with the current reporting period.(v)EquityEquity consists of the excess of the value of the total assets of the organisation over its liabilities.Increases or decreases in equity arise primarily from:(a)(b)(c)Excesses of revenues over expenditure, or excesses of expenditure over revenues fromoperations of the organisation (ie transactions other than with owners of the organisation in theircapacity as owners);Contributions by owners or distributions to owners (ie transactions with owners of the organisationin their capacity as owners of the organisation);Increments or decrements resulting from periodic revaluations of non current assets (ie furthertransactions other than with owners of the organisation in their capacity as owners).(w)Statement of Cash FlowsOther payments are for visiting medical officers, goods and services, maintenance, grants and subsidiesand payments to Affiliated <strong>Health</strong> Organisations.(x)Budgeted amountsThe budgeted amounts are drawn from the budgets as formulated at the beginning of the financial yearand with any adjustments for the effects of additional supplementation provided.(y)Changes in Accounting PolicyFrom <strong>2000</strong>/<strong>01</strong> all <strong>Health</strong> Services have been provided with adjustments which recognise the flow of acuteinpatients to/from other Australian States and Territories. To the extent that services are provided topersons from outside of New South Wales revenues are recognised. To the extent that services areprovided to an Area’s residents outside of New South Wales an expense is recorded. The adjustmentshave no effect on the equity values as the movement in Net Cost of Services is matched by acorresponding adjustment to the value of the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department Recurrent Allocation.The composition of patient flow revenue/expense is disclosed in Note 4 and Note 9.The effect of the change in the current year is that Net Cost of Services is $739,000 less than it wouldotherwise have been.

The firm also providesproperty management services to CSAHS.Plant and Equipment (excluding Concord Hospital’s), other than motor vehicles were valued by CSAHS on 1 July 1992 on the basis ofdepreciated replacement cost. Plant and Equipment of Concord Hospital have been valued at cost of acquisitions.(iv) As of 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>, CSAHS continues to derive service potential and economic benefits from the following fully depreciated assetscomprised 2,292 pieces of Medical Equipment, 232 pieces of Non Medical Equipment, 67 items of Furniture and Equipment, 463 units ofPlant and Machinery, 549 units of Computer Equipment and 14 units of Motor Vehicle.(v)The Rozelle Hospital site is the subject of a master planning process, which is examining options for the future use of this site. UnderState Environmental Planning Policy 56 a Master Plan must be prepared before any development application can proceed. The MasterPlan should be completed in early 2002.The value of the site is reflected in the financial statements at $69.437 million, comprised of $57.680 million for land, and $11.757 millionfor buildings.It is the opinion of the Board that the planning process is not at this point sufficiently well advanced to permit a realistic reappraisal of thevalue of the Rozelle Hospital site.Consequently, no adjustment has been made to the values reflected above.

Contingent Liabilities(a) Claims on Managed FundSince 1 July 1989, CSAHS has been a member of the <strong>NSW</strong> Treasury Managed Fund. The Fund will pay to or on behalf of CSAHS all sumswhich it shall become legally liable to pay by way of compensation or legal liability if sued except for employment related, discrimination andharassment claims that do not have State wide implications. The costs relating to such exceptions are to be absorbed by CSAHS. Since 1 July1989, no contingent liabilities exist in respect of liability claims against CSAHS. A Solvency Fund (now called Pre-Managed Fund Reserve) wasestablished to deal with the insurance matters incurred before 1 July 1989 that were above the limit of insurance held or for matters incurredbefore 1 July 1989 that would have become verdicts against the State. The Solvency Fund will likewise respond to all claims against CSAHS.There is an unquantified liability in respect of the claims for Workers Compensation as the payments in respect of some claims are not finaliseduntil eighteen months after the financial year in which the claims are made. (See the following note).(b) Workers Compensation Hindsight AdjustmentWhen the New Start (to the) Treasury Managed Fund was introduced in 1995/96, hindsight adjustments in respect of Workers Compensation(three years from commencement of Fund Year) and Motor Vehicle (eighteen months from commencement of Fund Year) became operative.The calculation of hindsight adjustments has been reviewed in <strong>2000</strong>/<strong>01</strong> to provide an interim adjustment after three years with a finaladjustment at the end of year five.The interim hindsight adjustment has now been effected for the 1997/98 year and resulted in an increase in expenses of $1.555 million.A contingent liability or asset may now exist in respect of the 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/<strong>2000</strong> Workers Compensation Fund years.The Treasury Managed Fund provide estimates as at 30 June each year and the latest available, viz those advised as at 30 June <strong>2000</strong> estimatethat a liability of $41,549 is applicable.This estimate however is subject to further actuarial calculation and a better indication of quantum will not be available until the last quarter of20<strong>01</strong>.(c) Affiliated <strong>Health</strong> OrganisationsBased on the definition of control in Australian Accounting Standard AAS24, Affiliated <strong>Health</strong> Organisations listed in Schedule 3 of the <strong>Health</strong>Services Act, 1997 are only recognised in CSAHS’s consolidated Financial Statements to the extent of cash payments made.However, it is accepted that a contingent liability exists which may be realised in the event of cessation of health service activities by anyAffiliated <strong>Health</strong> Organisation. In this event the determination of assets and liabilities would be dependent on any contractual relationship whichmay exist or be formulated between the administering bodies of the organisation and the <strong>NSW</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Department.(d) Claim by Lessee of Certain PropertyThe lessee of certain property controlled by CSAHS has made a claim against CSAHS. The claim is in relation to Supreme Court proceedingsin respect of recision of an agreement and lease regarding a proposed private hospital on the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital campus which was tobe constructed and operated by the lessee. Litigation is ensuing with a claim by the lessee for compensation in respect of rentals paid to dateamounting to approximately $5 million together with damages which have not been quantified.It is the opinion of the Board that the likelihood of success of the claim is minimal and accordingly no provision in relation to this matter has beenreflected in the financial statements.
Central <strong>Sydney</strong> Area <strong>Health</strong> ServiceNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>01</strong>As part of the original agreement for construction of the private hospital, the lessee constructed a private car park on the land leased fromCSAHS. The lease was cancelled in March <strong>2000</strong> and, after an interlocutory hearing, CSAHS was granted the right to operate the car park from26 June <strong>2000</strong>. In doing so, CSAHS is entitled to collect parking fees and pay costs associated with operating the car park, retaining any excessin trust pending resolution of matters referred to above. At year end this excess amounted to $225,000. The car park has not been recognisedas an asset in the financial statements as ownership has not been transferred.(e) Claim by Medical OfficerA medical officer is claiming that their contract with CSAHS is unfair and should be declared void, or varied in whole or part so that they areappointed to a higher position than is currently the case. The claim is also for increased compensation between 1990 and the present.The claim has not been particularised. CSAHS is defending the claim, which the Board believes is unlikely to succeed. Accordingly no provisionin relation to this matter has been reflected in the financial statements.

Services provided include:• Chaplaincies and Pastoral Care • Patient and Family Support• Pink Ladies/Hospital Auxiliaries • Patient Services, Fundraising• Patient Support Groups • Practical Support to Patients and Relatives• Community Organisations • Counselling, <strong>Health</strong> Education, Transport, Home Help and Patient Activities31. Unclaimed MoniesUnclaimed salaries and wages are paid to the credit of the Department of Industrial Relations and Employment in accordance with theprovisions of the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1940, as amended.All money and personal effects of patients which are left in the custody of CSAHS by any patient who is discharged or dies in the hospitaland which are not claimed by the person lawfully entitled thereto within a period of twelve months are recognised as the property of CSAHS.All such money and the proceeds of the realisation of any personal effects are lodged to the credit of the Samaritan Fund which is usedspecifically for the benefit of necessitous patients or necessitous outgoing patients.32. Budget ReviewNet Cost of ServicesThe actual Net Cost of Services for the year of $538.166 million was lower than the budget of $555.918 million by $17.752 million (3.19%).The variation reflects favourabilities in revenues ($6.188 million), expenses ($11.923 million), and unfavourably in sale of Non Current Assets($359,000).Movement in Accumulated Funds from Ordinary ActivitiesThe movement in accumulated funds from ordinary activities is principally attributed to the Net Cost of Services variation.Assets and LiabilitiesAssets totalled $823.673 million and were $18.428 million favourable to budget. This represented $20.789 million improvement in CurrentAssets and $2.361 million decrease in Non-Current Assets.
