324. This is situated on the mainland and at present consists of three blocks:-
A. Block containing 28 beds.
B. Block containing 31 beds.
M. Block containing 25 beds and 8 cots.
A. and B. Blocks cater for male patients and M. Block for female patients. M. Block which was opened on 1st April was built for maternity cases but so great was the need for accommodation of general cases that it had to be used temporarily as a general block.
325. This hospital is being enlarged year by year by the erection of additional blocks, the rate of extension being governed by the financial state of the Colony. It will ultimately be a 500 bed hospital.

327. Dr. J. T. Smalley, Senior Medical Officer, was absent on leave from March 26th to November 3rd during which time Dr. F. S. Court was in charge assisted by Dr. J. B. Mackie. Dr. C. H. Luk was Chinese Medical Officer.
