LONDON (Alliance News) - FTSE 250-listed outsourcer Serco Group PLC has been stripped of its contract sterilising equipment at a hospital in Australia, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Western Australia Health Minister Kim Hames took the contract away from Serco on Monday after blood and tissue was found on sterilised equipment at the Fiona Stanley hospital in Perth, which opened last year. Hames also has initiated a further review into clinical healthcare at the hospital.
Serco does retain the bulk of the GBP850 million, ten-year deal to provide non-clinical services to the hospital. It had already received two breach notices related to its sterilisation services.
