Wednesday, January 9, 1974

By that date, all supporting and clinical sections would be

operational, and specialised units of clinical sections would be added

progressively as the necessary staff become available.

In a reference to the major approach road to the hospital, Dr.

Choa felt that since the new Lai Chi Kok Hospital Interchange roadworks

were not expected to be completed until February 1975, this could affect the

access of ambulances and other transport to the hospital, and consequently

the intako of patients.

The South Kwai Chung Polyclinic Stage II, which would be the

specialist clinic for the Princess Margaret Hospital, was presently out to

tender and its completion date was not expected until the middle of 1975.

But Dr. Choa assured members that it was proposed to run a

1

temporary specialist clinic in consulting rooms situated in the present

Stage I South Kwai Chung Clinic.
