New flying doctor planes take off. (Australia) Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Queensland Health Minister Geoff Wilson says three new planes will be added to the fleet of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Mr Wilson says the specially fitted King Air planes will be based in Townsville, Rockhampton and Brisbane.

He says extra crews and staff have been employed to help deliver the high quality service to Queenslanders in rural areas.

"Where you've got rural and remote patients, or even regional Queensland patients who to get the very top quality care that their complex and serious conditions might require, particularly on an urgent basis ... the Royal Flying Doctor Service is all geared up now, so much better to be able to pick them up wherever they are," he said.
