My Lord,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG 16th April, 1930.
I have the honour to request Your Lordship's
authority to include in the Estimates for 1931 provision for
an Ophthalmic Surgeon under the Medical Department.
2.
Such an appointment is desirable primarily in
connection with the examination of school children. At present
such cases when reported by the Medical Officers for Schools are
sent to an outside practitioner, but I consider that, apart from
the inconvenience of such a procedure, much more should be done
than at present in the way of systematic inspection.
3.
Apart from his work in the schools such an officer
would be fully employed at the Government Hospitals and Prisons,
in the Out-patient Eye Clinic at the Government Civil Hospital
and in attendance on subordinate officers and their wives and
families.
4.
I would propose to offer the usual salary paid to
specialists namely £800 to £1100 rising by annual increments of
£25.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LORD PASSFIELD,
&c.,
&c.,
&c.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
W.D. Sou short.
Officer Administering the Government.
