Surgeon holds as regards the Hospital

His visits seem confined to receiving reports and attending to outpatients. Dr Ayres states: "I have nothing to do with the management or superintendence of the Civil Hospital. I am not in a position to give an order that there shall be a daily evening visit. New rules for the guidance of the Hospital were needed and were going to be framed, but I recommend that they should wait until the Hospital is completed."

23. On the whole, we are of the opinion that if there is any laxity of discipline at the Civil Hospital, it is principally due to the low progress which is being made in the construction of the new buildings and of the Superintendent's house.

24. It is difficult to expect discipline when the patients are divided into three separate buildings, and the Superintendent has to live far from his work; and the Board cannot too strongly impress on the Government the absolute necessity, for the welfare of the public and the good governance of the Civil Hospital, that these buildings should be completed as soon as possible.

25. The Board desire to call attention to the recommendations contained in paragraphs 4, 8, 11, and 24, and also to paragraph 20.

We have to,

St. Thonwett

Alfred G. Wise, Harbour Master

T. C. Dempster, Police Magistrate

The Honourable Capt. Supt. of Police

The Colonial Secretary
