406. The accommodation cannot keep pace with the growth in population. Kowloon has considerably more than doubled itself during the last ten years. No patient is turned away for want of room and in both medical and surgical wards it is common to find two in a bed, and others sleeping on the floor.
407. The staff consists of a Senior Resident Medical Officer whose salary is paid by the Government, and three Junior Medical Officers paid by the Directors.
408. There are also a number of Chinese Herbalists who practise Chinese medicine and are paid out of Hospital funds.
409. The patients, on admittance, can choose whether they desire treatment on Western or Chinese lines.
