Sir,

Government House, Hong Kong, 10th June, 1901.

I have the honour to inform you that the Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer has reported that in his opinion the appointment of another Assistant Surgeon, to be attached permanently to the Medical Department, is a pressing necessity.

Great difficulty has been experienced during the present year in obtaining temporary assistance, and in view of the danger that for many years to come plague and small-pox will probably be epidemic in this Colony, one Officer will nearly always be required to attend to the Infectious Hospital for the greater part of the year.

The necessity for attendance on the wives and families of Government servants has increased with the increase of the Subordinate Staff in the various Departments.

A considerable addition to the work of the Medical Department is occasioned by the prevalence of Malaria in the New Territory; and in non-epidemic times it will always be possible to keep an Officer usefully employed on such work. Moreover, as the result of the newer methods of observation in connection with Malaria and other diseases, the Assistant Superintendent of the Hospital has his time...

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
