The out-patients number 199,805 as against 197,736 in 1924 and 166,422 in 1923, and of these 66,762 or 33% as against 24% in 1924, chose European treatment.
The number of surgical operations performed was 378 as against 366 in 1924. There were also 146 eye operations performed as against 187 in 1924.
45. The number of destitutes temporarily housed and then sent to their homes was 449 (945 in 1924); most of whom were sent to the Hospital from this office.
Of the Charitable Funds managed by the Hospital the Man Mo Temple Fund (Table XI) shows an excess of receipts over expenditure of $51,882, an increase of $7,152 over the balance of 1924. The Maternity Hospital at Saiyingpun shows a credit balance of $1,309 (Table XII).
The income from the Brewin Charity Fund for the year exceeded the expenditure by $10,028.98.
The amount spent in gratuities and pensions was $5,567 as compared with $5,162 in 1924 and $4,963 in 1923.
$6,000 is invested in Hongkong 6% War Bonds.
The working account of the Tung Wah Hospital itself (Table IX) shows an excess of expenditure over revenue of about $17,500, but this is more than covered by the item "Repairs and Extensions to Coffin Home &c." an outlay which should be reflected in increased rentals.
The Kwong Wah Hospital continued to be a heavy drain on the funds of its parent institution. A special grant of $10,000 was made by Government to assist in meeting the deficit for 1924 and the Vote "Local Chinese Charities" increased by a similar sum in the Estimates for 1926.
Arrangements were made with a view to economy for the requirements of these two Hospitals in the matter of foreign drugs and medical appliances, to be supplied through the Crown Agents instead of by purchase from local shops. At the same time the Government grant for this purpose was increased from $2,500 to $5,000.
