2/ The more complicated cases & also cases most likely at risk of death, are NOT seen in private surgical centres. They remain in the public system but wait longer because public MDs, nurses, techs, who could treat them, are pilfered by the private system.

1/ We should know & respond to incr wait list deaths but the recommendation, "partnering with private clinics at lower costs than hospitals, providing patients a mix of public & private options", suggests the other motive for this report is more private surgical centres (that is known to NOT WORK).
