Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Nick Trompf, Chairman of Advance Cairns, about the need to lobby the Queensland state government to fund more hospital beds for our Cairns & Hinterland Hospital & Health Service.  Cairns is currently 75 beds short and the hospital is facing over-crowdedness and ramping issues. Advance Cairns is pushing the proposal to construct a new 300-bed acute clinical service building at the Cairns Health and Innovation precinct. Plans also include the migration of the emergency department to a safer and more practical location.
