In 1986 the hospital underwent refurbishment and continued to provide medical services to the British Garrison, their families and entitled civilians until the decision was taken last year to close the site. Garrison personnel requiring hospital treatment will, in future, be referred to civilian hospitals under contract arrangements with Headquarters British Forces.
The site at King's Park is to be handed over to the Hong Kong Government in September.
