The LNP will spend $300 million to team up with private hospitals to help clear the elective surgery waiting list,with Ms Frecklington saying it will"fast-track the surgeries of nearly 56,000 patients across Queensland".
"There is no point having empty beds in private hospitals when Queenslanders are waiting for surgery,"she said.

Meanwhile,Labor announced $265 million to set up seven mini-hospitals in south-east Queensland,described by Ms Palaszczuk as an Australian first.
However,they will be funded through further borrowings,not under the health budget,meaning more debt for the state.
Under the proposal,patients could receive treatments for chemotherapy,kidney dialysis,mental health issues,and other chronic health conditions without having to travel to a major hospital.
The mini-hospitals would be rolled out at Bribie Island,Pine Rivers,south Brisbane,the Gold Coast,Ipswich,Caboolture and Redlands,creating 760 jobs.
