The St. John's Ambulance Brigade, which holds a strong position in the Colony and which does excellent work both in the training and the performance of first aid duties, renders valuable assistance to the authorities.
Conveyance of the Sick.-Motor Ambulances for the conveyance of the sick are housed at the fire stations and are controlled by the Police and Fire Department. Hand ambulances are operated by the Sanitary Department. The Tung Wah Hospital has a Motor Ambulance of its own and so has the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital.
During the present year the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services has been engaged in the formulation of a scheme for the re-organisation of the medical and sanitary services of the Colony and a comprehensive memorandum on the subject was submitted in June.
In December the Legislative Council passed an amendment to the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance making the D.M.S.S. a member of the Sanitary Board in place of the M.O.H. The objects and reasons for the Bill were stated as follows:-
"With a view to the re-organisation of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, it is considered desirable to associate the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services more closely with the working of the Sanitary Department, and in order that he may have the opportunity of acquiring first hand knowledge of the working of that department it has been decided to place him on the Sanitary Board instead of the Medical Officer of Health. When the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services has replaced the Medical Officer of Health as a member of the Sanitary Board the Government will await such recommendations from him in the public health administration as his experience of the working of the Sanitary Department may prompt him to make".
