00:00
Premier Stephen Miles announced a $50 million expansion to the emergency department at Rockhampton
00:07
Hospital.
00:08
Mr Miles made the announcement while visiting the newly opened North Rockhampton Ambulance
00:12
Station.
00:13
The government says master planning for the emergency department expansion is already
00:17
underway.
00:18
The money would go towards boosting treatment spaces, although there was no firm commitment
00:22
on the number of new beds that will be delivered.
00:24
That $50 million we expect would allow us to double the number of treatment spaces,
00:29
offer a new fracture clinic and expand the short stay unit.
00:34
The staff at Rockhampton Hospital do just a fantastic job, but they're experiencing
00:39
an incredible increase in demand.
00:42
This is the Premier's second visit to Rockhampton since the election campaign got underway.
00:46
The seat is traditionally safe Labor territory, but the government is facing an uphill battle
00:51
to hold onto the seat.
00:53
The incumbent MP Barrio Rourke is bowing out of politics at this election, and the former
00:57
Mayor Margaret Surlow is making a tilt.
