My Lord Duke,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 23rd August, 1923.
I have the honour to inform Your Grace that
I have had under consideration the duties of the Matron in the Medical Department in this Colony in view of a request made by Miss Sloan for further assistance and for a reorganisation of duties.
I am satisfied that at present the Matron
has more work than can properly be accomplished by one person. Besides being on full duty as Matron at the Government Civil Hospital she is in charge of the Nursing Staff at all Government Hospitals including the Lunatic Asylum and has to superintend the issue of linen, bedding, clothing, and uniform for the whole department; the routine duties of the other hospitals only being left to the Sisters in Charge. She has also to control the Nursing Staff Quarters, housing on an average about 26 sisters, the running of which requires a good deal of attention,
I consider that she should be relieved entirely of this work and recommend the appointment of an Assistant Matron to act as Home Sister and house-keeper at the quarters. This appointment will enable the Matron to devote her energies to her proper work in the warde, in the training of the probationer nurses and will promote the
health
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, K.G.,
