Supplementary to Question No. 9 in the
Legislative Council on 7 August 1985
Mrs. Ng asked in Cantonese :
很高興知道在今年九月沙田威爾斯親王 醫院將會設立二十四小時的急症服務請 問在其他設施方面,例如手術室、X-光室病 理學檢查部門等等,有没有作出相應的配 合?
(The following is the interpretation of what Mrs. Ng asked.)
Sir, I am very pleased to learn that in September this year, there will be a
24-hour accident and emergency department in the Prince of Wales Hospital. Will
other facilities, such as the surgical rooms, X-ray rooms and the pathological
investigation department, be re-organised accordingly ?
Director of Medical and Health Services : - Sir, all the essential back-up
facilities such as operating theatres, pathology and radiological services will
be available.
Dr. Ip: - Would Government inform this Council what will be the staff
establishment for the accident and emergency department in the Prince of Wales
Hospital when it opens for 24-hour's operation and how will this compare with
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Queen Mary Hospital ?
Director of Medical and Health Services :
-
Sir, in the Prince of Wales Hospital,
there will be one Consultant, four Senior Medical Officers and 12 Medical Officers.
These are the standard staffing ratios of all regional hospitals.
Dr. Ip:
Sir, would Government inform this Council whether this establishment as
quoted includes a doctor with post-graduate qualifications present at the accident
and emergency department round the clock to supervise the junior staff ?
His Excellency the President : - I think that question is hot related to the
original question, Dr. Ip.
