NEW ROLE FOR FORMER MISSIONS TO SEAMON BUILDING
The former Missions to Seamen building in Gloucester Road, made
redundant when the Mariners' Club opened in Kowloon a few years ago, is to
be reopened in April 1973 as a residence for nurses.
House.
It will house 210 student nurses and is to be called Harcourt
The first group of 70 will be housed in April and May next year.
Another group of 70 will take up residence in October, and Harcourt House
will be fully occupied by January 1974.
The nurses will work on a shift basis, so that each day there will
be three shifts of 70 nurses travelling between Harcourt House and Queen Mary
Hospital.
Normally, student nurses are provided with accommodation at the
hospital in which they receive their training, but there are now insufficient
quarters at the Queen Mary Hospital.
As there is no direct public transport service between Wanchai and
the Queen Mary Hospital, a 50-seater bus will convey the nurses back and forth
as a free service.
This is considered sufficient, but it may be necessary to supplement
it with existing departmental transport for the day shift.
