“This major expansion will significantly increase the care offered across the range of inpatient and outpatient services at Redcliffe Hospital.

“It will include additional operating theatres, Emergency Department treatment spaces, endoscopy rooms, birthing suites, outpatient consult rooms, diagnostic rooms, and expansion of medical imaging, pharmacy and pathology areas.”

Welcoming the plan, Member for Bancroft Chris Whiting said that the expansion of the hospital will expand health service capacity.

The project will create around 2,573 jobs during construction.

According to D’Ath, a provision of additional funding of $9.78bn over six years is being made in the 2022-23 Budget to build new and expanded hospitals across the state.

The latest hospital projects will add 2,509 beds over six years including 199 more beds in 2023 and 239 beds in 2024.
