Lai Chi Kok Branch Prison,-Dr. W. B. A. Moore was in charge and visited the institution daily. 193 prisoners remained from 1922 and 1103 were admitted making a total of 1296 and of these 197 remained at end of 1923. The daily average number of prisoners was 162. The admissions to hospital numbered 203, the principal disease being malaria 66. Diseases of the digestive system 33. Diseases of the cellular tissues 22. There was one death, the cause being perforation of a duodenal ulcer. 62 prisoners were transferred for treatment to Victoria Gaol, chiefly on account of scabies and venereal disease, and one was transferred to the Civil Hospital suffering from a ruptured spleen caused by a blow from another prisoner. He was operated on and recovered. Quinine parades were held from June to the end of December, with the result that there were no very severe cases of malaria either amongst the staff or the prisoners. When the small collection of Chinese houses just below the Prison are removed and the filling in of the paddy fields and training of the nullahs are completed there should be a great diminution in the number of cases of malaria.
The Dispensary, Tai Po Market. The Assistant Medical Officer for Kowloon and the New Territories, Dr. Luk Chuen Hsuen, is in charge of the dispensary. 2577 cases were treated during the year as against 3157 last year. The diminution is due to fewer vaccinations being done as public vaccinators were sent to the various villages during the small-pox epidemic.

The Kowloon Dispensary-The attendances during the year amounted to 31,765 as compared with 24,768 last year.
