Agree.. Darwin is a 'capital city', but I think the government is going to find it incredibly difficult to find enough specialist medical staff to adequately service the surge capacity of Howard Springs. Even offering incredible pay etc may not be enough. This would further be exacerbated in more regional areas. Somewhere like AVV probably wouldn't have this problem. Toowoomba most likely would.
