A number of health auxiliaries stopped all work for two hours today

from 9 a.. to 11 a.m. although they attended at their offices as usual,

a spokesman for the Medical and Health Department said.

"During this period, all patients at chest and social hygiene

clinics were treated. This was largely due to the fact that doctors worked

to clear up the caseload, and patients co-operated by not objecting to a

short wait.

"But all field activities normally carried out by the health

auxiliaries were suspended for the two hours," he said.

"Government midwives also began their stated intention to perform

minimal duties for 48 hours. As on the previous occasion, they did not

wash babies in rural clinics. Neither did they prepare dressings or enter

records of births, admissions and discharges,"
