This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of introducing the PPP model into hospitals and promoting social sustainability, with a case study on the Northern Beaches Hospital in Sydney revealing various social sustainability issues and providing recommendations. It can provide guidance and decision support for stakeholders.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present evidence to the heated debate whether Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model should be introduced into the hospitals and, if so, how to promote the social sustainability of such PPP projects. Design/methodology/approach This paper has established an analytical framework to analyse the social sustainability of PPP projects. Using content analysis method, a single case study was carried out on the Northern Beaches Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Findings The results show that there are many problems related to social sustainability in the project, due to which employees and patients were exposed to most of them. Some recommendations are provided, including to strengthen the supervision of the project, provide sufficient information, establish communication channels and stakeholder participation, improve hospital policies and procedures, and strengthen government support. Practical implications This paper can provide guidance for the stakeholders in a partnership, including the public and private sectors, to analyse the social sustainability implications, and then plan and implement hospital PPP projects to achieve social sustainability goals. Meanwhile, it can also provide important reference for the employees, patients, local community and society to assess social sustainability issues, and provide relevant inputs to inform decision-makers in the development, delivery and management of hospital projects. Originality/value The research will contribute to knowledge of social sustainability of hospital PPP projects. The proposed analytical framework can be used to analyse and assess the social sustainability of such projects from the perspective of stakeholders.
