30. Mental Hospital. When the site in the New Territories was chosen the intention was to develop it with a 500-bed hospital, and preliminary plans were prepared on this assumption. Later it was decided that the final development might be for a 1,000-bed hospital. Consequently the overall planning required reconsideration and considerable amendment.
