The Government is providing $200 million over four years for the South-East Queensland Hospitals Package. This funding will facilitate detailed planning and preparatory works for future redevelopments at Logan, Caboolture and Ipswich hospitals, new adolescent mental health facilities, and an immediate expansion of the emergency department (ED) at Caboolture Hospital. The $19.6 million allocated for the Caboolture ED expansion will provide fourteen new treatment spaces, four consultation rooms and a treatment room. This will almost double the current ED capacity and will facilitate better services and reduce waiting times and overcrowding. Preliminary works have commenced and are expected to be completed by December 2018. budget.qld.gov.au Queensland Regional Action Plan Budget 2017-18
