"It is true that there is still congestion at the Kowloon Sub-
Treasury, as well as at the two cash offices on Hong Kong Island. Usually
this occurs during the last few days of each quarterly rating period, that
is, at the end of April, July, October and January."
The Financial Secretary said that the first three months in 1972
were unusually busy periods owing to the large backlog of water bills
issued for payment in these months.
"This backlog was accumulated during the second half of 1971
following the introduction of the revised water charges and of the free
units which slowed down substantially the rate at which water bills could
be issued," he explained.
KENNEDY TOWN JOCKEY CLUB CLINIC
Full-Time Maternal And Child Health Service Provided
The Director of Medical and Health Services, Dr. the Hon. Gerald Choa,
said today one doctor was posted to the general out-patients clinic of
the Kennedy Town Jockey Club Clinic.
He was replying to the Hon. Wilfred Wong who had asked: "Will
Government state how many doctors are in attendance at the Kennedy Town
Jockey Club Clinic and whether it is necessary to post additional doctors
there?"1
Dr. Choa said that the clinic also provided a full-time maternal and
child health service and there were times when two doctors were in attendance.
"If in the summer months the attendance figure rises, another
doctor will be posted thore, " he said.
