Chief Minister Katy Gallagher said today that, if re-elected next month, her government will spend about $63 million over four years on 64 new beds for Calvary, a new two-bed birthing centre and boosted capabilities for the hospital's emergency department.

The pledge includes the hiring of 13 doctors, 99 nurses, and 12 allied health workers to service the new wards, beds and birthing suites.

Labor is promising new medical Rapid Assessment and Planning Unit, of eight beds in the emergency department, for people who present at the emergency department with complex conditions.

The hospital's psychiatric services for elderly patients will also be expanded by five beds, Ms Gallagher said.

The Chief Minister said that the two new birthing suites, to be installed in unused space at Calvary, would give about 200 north side women each year an opportunity to use the "midwife-led" model of care, currently only available at the Canberra Hospital in Woden.

"In terms of maternity services, a big driver on the north side of Canberra, is creating a birth centre environment here at Calvary Hospital," the Chief Minister said..

"We know it's what women love, we've expanded it at Canberra from three to five suites and this is about creating that environment here.

"Half of the births at Canberra Hospital's birth centre are from women north of the lake, so we know there is demand there."

The polices were endorsed by Calvary's owners, the Little Company of Mary Healthcare, this morning with the group's Chairman John Watkins.

"We're most pleased with this announcement today, the commitment to the people of Canberra," he said.

"We're particularly excited about the maternity model, I think the midwifery-led model is going to be embraced by the families and the women of north Canberra."
