In order to build a new hospital, the city judged that it was necessary to reorganize and integrate with other hospitals in the Toyono Secondary Medical District, including the city itself. When we conducted a survey on hospital reorganization and integration with medical corporations in the Hono Secondary Medical Area, we found that some medical corporations were active about the reorganization and integration. Since these medical corporations wanted a designated management system in which they would operate the new hospital themselves, they decided to choose this system as their management method.
Designated management candidates are expected to be decided around the summer. The city will work with candidates to develop a master plan. After the City Council approves the designated manager at its December council meeting, the city and the administrator will sign an agreement 24 years early. The basic plan will be compiled in fiscal year 23 and expenses such as DB operator selection and design costs will be required in the initial budget proposal for fiscal year 24. When the budget is approved issued, the company will begin the procedure of public offering of DB operators and it is expected that the DB operator will be selected sometime in the summer of 24.
