The Government also runs post-qualified in-service training courses for registered and enrolled nurses in midwifery, health nursing and community nursing. Selected staff nurses are also sent overseas for special training in health education, occupational health and psychiatric nursing.

Acknowledgement
I wish to pay tribute to all the staff who have contributed to the efficient and effective functioning of the Department in the year under review. Although there have been pressures and difficulties, all performed their duties with devotion and dedication. I am most grateful for their unfailing support.
The Department acknowledges with thanks the assistance and cooperation given by other Government departments, voluntary agencies, the press, the radio and television networks.
Many public spirited persons have devoted their time and energy to serve on statutory boards, advisory committees, working parties and in voluntary agencies dealing with the many aspects of medical and health services in Hong Kong. Their contributions are greatly appreciated.
Finally, I would like to record my appreciation for the contributions of private individuals as well as local and overseas organisations who have assisted the Department in providing facilities for those in need of medical care. It is hoped that they will continue to contribute to the Medical Development Programme in the challenging years ahead. With such sound support, I am confident that the Department will continue to provide a good service.
