Cairns Hospital, known as the Cairns Base Hospital between 1932 and 2013, is the largest major hospital in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is located at 165 The Esplanade, Cairns North, Cairns. The hospital offers general services to Cairns and surrounding areas, a population of about 250,000 people. The building complex has a 667-space multi-storey car park with a pedestrian overpass linking it to the rest of the hospital. In 2011, a shortage of beds for mental health patients meant some were staying for more than 100 hours in the emergency department. From Wikipedia
