[R-sig-Geo] how to assess spatial randomness of an spp given the distribution of another spp

Dear list members,

I am working with spatstat package to analyse to spatial points data frames:
 - the locations of hospitals in France
 - the location of the population (each 'point' here represents about
3,000 people)
I used quadrat.test and kstest to test for spatial randomness of
hospitals, which, hopefully is not random,
I would like to know if there's a (simple non-bayesian) way of
assessing spatial randomness for hospitals given the distribution of
the population,
and ultimately if it is possible to do so using MarkedPointProcess
package (the hospitals being of different sizes, and populations
having different needs for healthcare)

thx in advance for any suggestion,

Sylvain
