distribution (in the context of the regional
approach) between acute and non-acute beds.
Within the broad strategy of current policy, general
priority is to be afforded to those projects which will contribute
to the satisfactory development of the new towns, and through
them to the remainder of the New Territories. The top priority

major hospitals to serve the new towns of Sha Tin and Tuen Mun.

The full programme of Government hospital building
proposed is then -
(a) the completion of Princess Margaret Hospital and
its psychiatric wing
--
projects already in the
Public Works Programme;
(b) Shatin Hospital: this will be a regional
hospital of 1,200 beds to serve East New
Territories.
In addition, it should be
developed as a teaching hospital to provide
the clinical teaching facilities needed for
the second medical school which is to be
established at the Chinese University of
Hong Kong; the hospital will be planned.
