common good.
I must express my gratitude to the President, Mr. Chan, the
Chairman, Mr. Cheung and other members of the Fanling Hospital Extension
Fund Raising Committee and the local residents as well as those members
of the local community residing overseas for their magnificent contribution
towards this project.
As Mr. Cheung has pointed out, this new extension will provide
a better medical service for Sheung Shui, Fanling and adjacent areas
which already have a population of about 100,000. By 1982 a complete
range of services will have been brought nearer to Fanling by the completion
of the Regional Hospital of 1,400 beds and polyclinic at Shatin,
