Queensland Health will not reveal the overall impact of their restructure on the Mossman District Hospital, saying that it is still too early to determine what the "nett impact" will be.

The Newsport understands there have been cuts to the hospital's administrative staff, however, a Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) spokesperson said the ultimate effect of the restructure will not be known until the take up of voluntary redundancy packages, and the filling of any positions left vacant are finalised, with the implementation of the new structure expected to commence on 1 May.

Julie Hartley-Jones, Chief Executive of CHHHS, said over 170 employees across the network had expressed interest in the voluntary redundancy package.

"More than 100 employees affected by the proposed CHHHS restructure have indicated they would like a voluntary redundancy package.

"More than 70 employees not affected by the proposed CHHHS Restructure also indicated they would accept a voluntary redundancy if an affected employee could be suitably matched to their role," she said.

Ms Hartley-Jones added that the CHHHS is currently undergoing suitability assessments to match staff affected by the CHHHS restructure with vacant positions in the new structure.

The void left by any outgoing administrative staff at Mossman District Hospital may need to be filled by staff whose primary role is patient care, raising concerns about the future of the vital services the hospital provides to the region.

Julia Leu, chair of the Mossman Hospital Community Advisory Network, believes Indigenous Health services, and Alcohol, Tobacco And Other Drugs Services (ATODS) will be impacted by the restructure.

Speaking with The Newsport yesterday, Cr Leu said any such cuts will affect the entire community.

"I would certainly think that any reduced effort in indigenous health in our region is definitely a very retrograde step.

"I have, in my time, seen an improvement in health outcomes for our local indigenous community, and that's because of the very dedicated and hard work of a number of individuals working for the health service.

"It will affect the entire community because we all know the detrimental effect of drugs and alcohol in our community, the social impacts, and certainly the ability for people to have a healthy life."

Cr Leu said Mossman's Indigenous Health and ATODS programs have been awarded for their effectiveness and their "significant positive impact" in the Mossman area.
