The total number of out-patients treated was 74,257 as against 79,891 in 1924; of these 27,689 elected to receive European treatment. This gives a percentage of 37 as against one of 40 in 1924.
Great difficulty was experienced in getting the new block (for paying patients) completed for occupation, although the building was to all intents and purposes finished by the middle of the year. The quality of the work is poor and the design of the building far from satisfactory. The Committee has been unable to secure the execution of certain small alterations which would greatly have improved the receiving room.

50. The total number of cases treated at the Dispensaries was 135,571 as compared with 157,791 in 1924. Of this total 75,506 were new and 60,065 return cases.
The total number of vaccinations performed was 10,489 as against 7,769 in 1924.
The total expenditure on the Dispensaries, was $52,266 as against $43,989 in 1924.
The net revenue of the Dispensaries, excluding a grant of $9,000 by Government was $41,532 as compared with $48,582 in 1924.
The two Kowloon Dispensaries at Hunghom and Shamshuipo show balances of $3,644 and $3,598 respectively. In 1924 the balances were $4,883 and $11,995.
The 8 shops on N.K.I.L. 473-4 intended as an endowment for the Shamshuipo Dispensary were after many vicissitudes completed and passed for occupation (on the direct application of the department) in October. The quality of the output was far from satisfactory.
The number of dead and dying infants brought to the Dispensaries was 1,213 as against 1,433 in 1924.
1,064 corpses were removed to hospital or mortuary as against 1,295 in 1924; 470 applications for coffins were received as against 522 in 1924; and there were 29 attendances for the cleansing of infected premises as against 187 in 1924.
The Dispensaries Committee are again indebted to the authorities of the Alice Memorial Hospital for assistance in the matter of the issue of medicines and drugs, and the regulation of their consumption.
