The state government has taken its pre-Budget health spending to more than half a billion dollars in two days, with the latest focus shifting to infrastructure.

Premier Mark McGowan and Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson were out splashing cash again on Tuesday, announcing an additional $223m for various infrastructure projects in next week's state budget.

Headlining the spend is $16.5m for an upgrade to the intensive care unit at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, which will get 10 new state-of-the-art ICU beds.

It comes after Monday's $250m commitment for a range of measures to fix emergency care and ambulance ramping across WA.

Tuesday's announcement takes the total spend on new infrastructure to more than $1.5 billion over the next four years, that's on top of the $1.8b set aside for a new maternity hospital in Nedlands.
