***
THE VIOLET PEEL OUTPATIENT CLINIC AND THE METHADONE CENTRE AT SOUTHORN PLAYGROUND WILL MOVE INTO TEMPORARY PREMISES EARLY NEXT MONTH AFTER MORE THAN 45 YEARS OF PROVIDING OUTPATIENT SERVICES IN WAN CHAI.
THE MOVE IS NECESSITATED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY ISLAND LINE.
WITH EFFECT FROM MAY 3, THE VIOLET PEEL CLINIC WILL BE ACCOMMODATED IN A SPECIALLY BUILT STRUCTURE AT ADMIRALTY EAST IN HARCOURT ROAD, NEXT TO THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND ADMIRALTY CENTRE, OPPOSITE THE HONG KONG RED CROSS HEADQUARTERS.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE METHADONE CLINIC AT VIOLET PEEL WILL ALSO MOVE TO A NEW ADDRESS WITH EFFECT FROM SUNDAY (APRIL 25) AT NO. 219 QUEEN'S ROAD EAST IN WAN CHAI.
BOTH CLINICS WILL BE RELOCATED AT SOUTHORN PLAYGROUND WHEN A NEW COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY COMPLEX AT THE MTR STATION CONCOURSE IS COMPLETED IN MID-1986.
THE VIOLET PEEL CLINIC, BUILT IN THE LATE 1930'S, NOW SERVES ABOUT 1 000 PATIENTS EACH DAY AND HAS PROVIDED IMPORTANT MEDICAL SERVICES TO RESIDENTS IN WAN CHAI FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES.
IN ADDITION TO GENERAL OUTPATIENT CONSULTATIONS, THE CLINIC PROVIDES A COMMUNITY NURSING SERVICE.
BOTH SERVICES WILL CONTINUE AT THE TEMPORARY CLINIC AT ADMIRALTY EAST.
THE METHADONE CLINIC, WHICH WAS SET UP IN 1975, CATERS TO ABOUT 850 PATIENTS EACH DAY.
