A commitment has also been made to increase the pediatric services at Ipswich Hospital with an additional six beds and a dedicated pediatric emergency area at a cost of $6.7 million. In 2008, more funding was allocated for the provision of a sixth operating theatre which would allow for an additional 500 procedures per year. By 2010, the Australian Medical Association of Queensland reported that the waiting list for elective surgery at Ipswich Hospital had decreased by 5% and waiting for specialist outpatient appointments had dropped by 14%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ipswich Hospital, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
