the school dental care service will become operational in 1980 when
the supply of trained staff comes on stream. The 1,300 bed Psychiatric
Wing of the Princess Margaret Hospital will be completed by 1980. In
Sha Tin site formation work for the teaching hospital of about 1,400
beds has commenced while at Tuen Mun preparatory work on another
major hospital of 1,200 beds is about to begin. These projects will
be completed by 1982 and 1983 respectively. Eight new clinics and
polyclinics will also be completed: Shatin general clinic in 1979,
