What did Ramsay announce?
In its statement, Ramsay confirmed the details of funding guarantee arrangements for the period between 1 January and 30 June 2022.
Announced by the French Government on 14 May, the company said the structure of the decree was similar to prior periods. However, mental health has been excluded in the latest scheme.
While the details regarding the arrangement have not been disclosed, the previous corresponding period's decree provided a guarantee of revenue equal to the average monthly revenue earned from the government.
Pulled from the 2020 calendar year, the revenue was indexed and multiplied by the six months covered by the decree.
