DR. IP : Sir, assuming that the site can be vacated on
1 September 1988 as mentioned, when will the Argyle Street
Ophthalmic Centre project be completed
and ready for
medical service?
SECRETARY FOR
SECURITY
sir, I do not. have any
information on that side of the story but what I can say
is that the project is at present in category A/B and that
the timing for the removal of the Argyle Street Reception
Centre is consistent with the timing for getting it
it into
category A.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT : Secretary for Health and
Welfare, do you wish to add to that?
SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE : Sir, my understanding
is that following the timing
timing indicated by the Secretary
for Security, the target completion date of the Ophthalmic
Centre will be June 1991 which is about six months later
originally scheduled,
than
though every effort will be
made to try and speed this up, but that is the best date
we can give at the moment.
