Further steps are being taken to tackle ramping at Cairns Hospital’s Emergency Department, with the two promised LARU vehicles hitting the road this week.

It’s hoped the $350,000 LARU unit will continue to significantly decrease the burden at the notorious ramping hotspot.

Again, it’s the agitation of our members around the issue of ramping – particularly at Cairns Hospital - that has driven this outcome. Well done to those involved in the campaign.
