New Territories Police Stations.
524. These have been inspected periodically by the M.O. i/c Kowloon and New Territories, and, in addition, the A.M.O.'s visit them once a month.
525. Many of the Police Stations are screened and every man is provided with a mosquito net. Prophylactic quinine is issued and the living rooms are regularly sprayed with insecticide in an endeavour to kill any adult mosquitoes which may be present. The men on night patrol are of course exposed to the bites of mosquitoes. A table showing the incidence of malaria amongst the whole police force will be found in Appendix B.
526. During the past two years Quino-plasmoquine has been on trial at the Tsun Wan Police Station, the most malarious in the New Territories. The average number occupying this station was 13 viz.-1 European in charge, 10 Indians and 2 Chinese. The results were not conclusive.
