Tasmania's Liberal party has pledged an extra $110 million for redevelopments at the state's major hospital if it retains power at the upcoming election.
Premier Peter Gutwein on Tuesday announced the plan to extend the Royal Hobart Hospital's emergency department and create space for more intensive unit beds.
It takes the overall spend on the redevelopment to $200 million.
It is the Liberals second big health announcement in two days, after $156 million over four years was promised on Monday to cut lengthy elective surgery waiting lists.
Mr Gutwein flagged further health committments this week.
"This will ensure Tasmanians can get the healthcare that they need, when they need it, in the right place as well," he said.
The Liberals, aiming to win a third consecutive term at the May 1 poll, also promised $30 million for the second stage of a health centre at Kingston, south of Hobart.
Health looms as a key issue in the state election, which will be held a year ahead of its due date after the Liberal government plunged into minority when Speaker Sue Hickey quit the party.
More than 12,000 people were on Tasmania's elective surgery waiting list as of December, according to health department data.
Just 56 per cent of patients are admitted for surgery within the clinically recommended time.
It was recently revealed by the state branch of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation that 900 shifts remain unfilled in the projected April roster at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
