In July 2012, the Prince Charles Hospital will be home to a $45.6 million dollar facility providing specialist children's health services to Brisbane's growing northside community.
The new services, based around family-centred care, will include a dedicated children's emergency department with a separate entrance and waiting room, 12 paediatric treatment spaces, 20 inpatient beds for same-day and overnight stays, and specialist outpatient clinics.
Services will start to come on line from July and expand over the future months.
The introduction of specialist children's services at The Prince Charles Hospital is part of Queensland Health's vision and commitment to strengthening the children's health service network in hospitals around the State so families can receive convenient, high quality services as close to home as possible.
Expanded children's health services at Ipswich, Logan, Caboolture, Redcliffe and Redland will also occur over the next four years.
