The Queensland government has come up with an extra $5.8 million to support the roll-out of the Cerner integrated electronic medical record (ieMR) at Brisbane's Lady Cilento Children's Hospital (LCCH) as part of an overall $70 million three-point plan to try to solve some of the problems affecting the $1.5 billion hospital.

LCCH was plagued by poor planning before it opened in November last year and by bad publicity since, with claims of problems ranging from not enough beds to not enough parking spaces.
