Healthscope has moved to quell fears the Northern Territory could lose its only private hospital, as financial troubles cast uncertainty over the medical centre's future. Healthscope is Australia's second-largest private hospital operator, running 37 hospitals across the country, including Darwin Private Hospital (DPH). The financially troubled operator collapsed into receivership on Monday, just one week before its maternity services at DPH were due to end on June 6.
