367. Considering the population of Kowloon is almost 300,000, facilities for X-Ray work should be improved. It is most important that there should be in this large City up-to-date and efficient apparatus.
368. Of the total number of massage and electrical treatments, 5,432 were carried out at the Government Civil Hospital, 3,634 at the Kowloon Hospital, and 1,513 at the Victoria Hospital.
369. There is great need for more extensive and appropriate accommodation for X-Ray, massage, and electro-therapy work both at the Government Civil Hospital and at Kowloon. At Kowloon, the situation is particularly bad, and it will be worse when the new wards are open and working at their full capacity.
370. Considerable use was again made of the radium lent by the Matilda Hospital. A special safe for the storage of such was obtained during the year, and the system of checking the issues and returns was revised to minimise the risk of loss.
Government Dispensaries.
371. The Dispensaries maintained by Government during the year under review were the Taipo Dispensary and the Un Long Dispensary, both in the New Territories. Details with regard to these will be found in Section X, which deals with the New Territories.
The Government Infectious Diseases Hospital.
372. This was originally a Police Station but was adapted as a hospital and has accommodation for 26 beds in six wards. The hospital is situated very close to the extreme western end of the Island and next door to the Tung Wah Smallpox Hospital. It is admirably situated for its purpose, being more or less isolated yet convenient for access by ambulance, by bus, or by launch.
373. During the year, the hospital was under the charge of Dr. G. V. A. Griffith, who supervised the work there in addition to his other duties.
374. During the year, there were 24 admissions and 7 deaths. The following table shows the nature of the diseases and the cause of death.
