Qld Health blueprint to be unveiled

PREMIER Campbell Newman is set to inform Queensland Health staff of a shake-up to their sector, addressing them in a live broadcast.

He'll join Health Minister Lawrence Springborg in breaking the news to the 80,000 workers about 10.30am (AEST) on Wednesday.

Mr Springborg detailed some of the plan on Tuesday.

The state's 17 public hospital boards will decide if they can deliver services such as oncology, radiography and catering more efficiently through private contractors but any outsourced services will remain free to the public.

Mr Springborg said reporting would be improved to include hospital-acquired infections, efficiencies, and child and maternal welfare, while each hospital's performance would be easily comparable.

The Sunshine Coast University Hospital, due to open in 2016, is also likely to partner with the private sector under a similar deal as the Mater Hospital in Brisbane.

Queensland Health has already lost more than 2500 staff since the Newman government came to power, but Mr Springborg insisted there'd be no staff cuts under the latest reforms.

Mr Newman and Mr Springborg will further unveil the plan to a fundraising lunch for the Liberal National party later on Wednesday.

The move has outraged unions and the opposition, who say the LNP will be profiting from the misery of workers fearing for their jobs.

The opposition said the LNP is charging $200-per-head for the lunch, or $2000 a table, and has demanded all profits go to Queenslanders who've suffered in the recent floods.

The state public-service union Together will hold a rally outside.
