Twenty-three assisted medical institutions in the voluntary sector,
and seven private hospitals receiving rates refunds, are to get a total of
$165.7 million to help meet thier recurrent and capital expenditure in the
new financial year beginning tomorrow (April 1).
This represents an increase of $28.5 million on the approved estimate
for the financial year ending on March 31, or $55.6 million on actual
expenditure incurred during the financial year 1972-73.
The 23 institutions include two recently-opened hospitals, the Yan
Chai in Tsuen Wan, and the United Christian in Kwun Tong.
The largest beneficiary is the Tung Wah group of hospitals, whose
approved annually recurrent estimate for the present financial year is $59.3
million, but which will be receiving $77.2 million in the new financial year.
The United Christian Hospital, which has no approved annually
recurrent estimate this year because it was still under consideration, will get
the next biggost slice of the total subvention, provisionally assessed at
$13.2 million.
Under special expenditure, the Kwong Wah Hospital of the Tung Wah
group will receive $7.9 million for a new clinical pathology building, and the
main Tung Wah Hospital the remaining balance of $3.5 million for its new
centenary block.
