EXTRA doctors and nurses are the latest election promise to come from the LNP, with incumbent Townsville MP John Hathaway today announcing North Queensland would gain 238 extra health jobs starting from July.
The LNP has pledged to deliver the additional jobs across Townsville and the North West over the next three years.
The tally of new jobs would include 44 doctors, 152 nurses and 42 other health practitioners.
The additional staff will cost $52.4 million over three years from 2015/16.
