Guideline for application for registration of a private hospital or day procedure centre When must an application for registration be made? The Secretary to the Department of Health (the Department) registers private hospitals and day procedure centres (health service establishments) under provisions set out in Part 4 of the Health Services Act 1988 (the Act). Registration of a health service establishment is the second stage of the approval process to establish a health service establishment under the Act. The first stage of the process is to apply and be issued with a Certificate of Approval in Principle (AIP). A facility may not commence operation (i.e. admit patients) until both stages have been completed. For information on how to make an application for AIP please refer to the Guidelines for AIP, available on our website.

In order for a person to operate a health service establishment, and provide medical services of a prescribed kind for a fee, they are required to be registered in accordance with the Act.

An assessment of an application for registration is undertaken in accordance with the criteria detailed in section 83 of the Act. These criteria include:

• fitness and propriety of the proposed proprietor;

• financial capacity of the proposed proprietor;

• suitability of the fittings and equipment of the premises;

• suitability of the design and construction of the premises;

• suitability of the management and staffing arrangements; and

• arrangements for maintaining and improving the quality of health services provided.

The information required by the Secretary to the Department (the Secretary) to assess compliance with each of these criteria is specified in more detail below.

Who can make an application? Only the proposed proprietor of a private hospital or day procedure centre can make an application for registration.

A proprietor of a private hospital or day procedure centre may take any of the following forms;
