Cairns Hospital, known as the Cairns Base Hospital between 1932 and 2013,[2] is the largest major hospital in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is located at 165 The Esplanade, Cairns North, Cairns.[3] The hospital offers general service to Cairns' population of about 155,000 and other nearby communities. The building complex has a 667 space multi-storey car park with a pedestrian overpass linking it to the rest of the hospital.[1]
In 2011, a shortage of beds for mental health patients meant some were staying for more than 100 hours in the emergency department.[4]
Redevelopment
In 2015, a $454.6 million redevelopment occurred at the hospital, including the introduction of an additional 168 beds.[3] These works increased the total number of beds to 531. It also increased the number of operating theatres to 11.[5]
Management
The hospital is currently being managed by a single administrator, Terry Mehan, after a 7-member board resigned in September 2016 over failure to recoup a $80 million budget deficit. [6]
