before and after any necessary hospital
treatment; and
a number of general clinics based on the
needs of the population of the area
providing both out-patient and general
public health services.
Such a regional organisation can be achieved around the
existing four major hospitals (Queen Mary, Kwong Wah, Queen
Elizabeth and Princess Margaret). There will therefore initially
be four regions served by these hospitals respectively:.
(a)
Hong Kong Island;
(b.)
West Kowloon;
(c.)
East Kowloon and East New Territories; and
(a) West New Territories.
However, with the anticipated movement of population it will be
appropriate at a later stage to establish a fifth region to serve
East New Territories separately. The need to take similar action
in relation to the Tuen Mun area will be kept under review but for
the present it is considered likely that the needs of the area will
be most effectively served in connection with the needs of the area
around Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. The plan at Appendix 1 indicates
the areas of the five regions which are envisaged.
5.5
The administration of each hospital region should ideally
be conducted from its own individual administrative regional
headquarters office. It is however intended that initially the
administration of regions should be dealt with from the three
offices which presently deal with the regionalised health services.
