186. At present the Public Health Centres are the Chinese Public Dispensaries and the Government Infant Welfare Centres at Wanchai, Kowloon and in the New Territories (Lady Ho Tung Welfare Centre). There are no public health nurses or health visitors but a certain amount of visiting is done by the School and Infant Welfare Nurses.

187. With regard to School Medical Work, the staff has been strengthened by the appointment of a whole-time Medical Officer, Dr. G. M. Hargreaves, D.P.H., D.O.M.S., who has had previous experience as School Medical Officer in Uganda. He is assisted by two Chinese Medical Officers and five nurses. Provision has however been made for the appointment in 1935 of a part-time Lady Medical Officer. This staff is, however, still insufficient to cope with the work of dealing with over 70,000 school children.

## TRAINING OF SANITARY PERSONNEL

188. The Medical Officers of Health hold classes and give lectures. Courses in chemistry, physics, and sanitary engineering were held at the Technical Institute of the Education Department. At the Bacteriological Institute, elementary instruction in bacteriology and mosquitology is given to sanitary inspectors.

189. Hong Kong is an examining centre for the Royal Sanitary Institute, and every year examinations are held for the Sanitary Inspectors Certificate and the Sanitary Science Certificate. Candidates come from Shanghai to take these examinations. The results of the last test were very satisfactory.
