Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service
 | All hospitals within the Cairns Hospital and Health Service (HHS) are meeting the national performance benchmarks for public hospital emergency departments. |
 | Increased efficiency and engagement with the private sector saw the general waiting list for public oral healthcare reduced from 1307 in March 2013 to zero in May 2014. |
 | $10 million in capital works funding has been allocated toward building a mental health community care unit in Cairns with the project set for completion in late 2014. |
 | The Cairns and Hinterland HHS began 2014 with a $5 million community dividend which was reinvested back into elective surgery. |
 | Health services have been expanded across the Cairns and Hinterland to deliver healthcare closer to patients' homes with the development of haemodialysis at Yarrabah, chemotherapy at the hospitals in Atherton and Innisfail, and new dental chairs at Tully and Mareeba. |
 | The Cairns and Hinterland HHS this year welcomed 40 interns to Cairns Hospital as part of its commitment to increase the number of well-trained rural doctors in Queensland. |
