134. The Head Attendant at the Mental Hospital should be placed on the scale of £475, rising to £575 by £20 annually and the Assistant Attendant on £370 to £430 by £15 annually. For the Female Attendant we consider a suitable scale would be $1,500, rising by $50 annually to $1,800.
135. The Chinese Resident Surgeon at the Tung Wah Hospital and the Chinese Medical Officer, New Territories, should receive the scale suggested for Chinese Medical Officers-$4,500 to $7,500 by $300 annually.
For Midwives we recommend $420, rising by $30 annually to $660.
The Dressers in the New Territories are, we understand, untrained; they resemble Wardboys rather than the qualified Dressers. We recommend therefore the following scales, 1 at $312 to $360 and 3 at $252 to $300 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
The Coolies and Office Attendant should receive $156 to $204 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
136. The scale suggested for the Health Officer of the Port is £920 rising by £40 annually to £1,280 and for the Second Health Officer £860 to £1,220 by £40 annually. The Chinese Medical Officers attached to the Office of the Health Officer of the Port should be on the scale of $4,500 to $7,500 by $300 annually.
The appointments of Public Vaccinators have appeared to us to be of the nature of a "blind alley" occupation. On that account, though we consider the minimum salary now offered to be adequate, we have extended the maximum and suggest a scale of $480, rising to $1,200 by $60 annually.
The Office Attendant should receive $192 to $240 and Coolie $156 to $204 by $12 in each case after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
137. The scale recommended for the Bacteriologist is £920, rising by £40 an- nually to £1,280 and for the Assistant £860 to £1,220, also by £40 annually.
For the Laboratory Attendants and Grooms we suggest $252 to $300 and for the Watchmen, Coolies and Messenger $156 to $204, rising in all cases by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years service.
For the Mortuary Attendants we suggest the following scales:-1 at $440 to $660 by $20 annually, 1 at $372 to $420 by $12 annually and 2 at $240 to $360 by $12 annually. The Messenger should receive $156 to $204 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
138. The salaries of the Analysts were also revised last year along with those of Medical Officers, the maximum of the Analyst being extended from £750 to £900 and that of the Assistant Analysts from £690 to £700. The minimum of the Analyst's scale was however only raised from £600 to £625 and remained therefore below the new maximum of the Assistant Analysts. We suggest the following scales:-
Analyst £850 to £1,050 by £40 annually;
Assistant Analysts £500 to £800 by 5 annual increments of £25, 2 of £50 and 3 of £25.
