ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
193. During the year under review, Dr. P. H. TENG, C.M.G., O.B.E. retired on 1st July, 1970. Within the 7-year period of his tenure of office the Medical and Health Services in Hong Kong underwent rapid and far-reaching expansion resulting in better improvement all round. The Department is greatly indebted to him for much accomplishment and achievement.
194. I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation to all ranks of the Department for their help in dealing with the many problems which the Department has to face everyday. In spite of the fact that they often have to work under adverse circumstances, they have all carried out their duties effectively with a true sense of devotion and dedication. The Department has also received every assistance and co-operation from other Government Departments, all voluntary agencies, the Press, and the Radio and Television networks. The patience shown by members of the public in spite of the many unavoid- able shortcomings of the Service is deeply appreciated.
195. I would also wish to thank the many public-spirited persons who have devoted so much of their valuable time to serve on Statutory Boards, Advisory Committees and Working Parties, and in voluntary agencies dealing with the many aspects of medical and health problems in Hong Kong. Thanks are also due to contributions made by private individuals, local and overseas organizations to assist Government in providing facilities for all those in need of subsidized medical care.
