The increase over the twelve month period was higher than the average annual increase in income of 14.7% over the five years to 2009-10. Most income generated in Free-standing day hospitals was sourced from patient revenue (96.4%), as distinct from income derived from other sources such as investments and bequests.
In adjusted terms, income increased by 14.5% from 2008-09 ($91 million) and the average annual increase in income was 10.6% over the five years from 2004-05 ($434 million) to 2009-10 ($719 million). This did not include 2007-08 because the Private Health Establishments Collection was not undertaken for the cycle.
