RESEARCH INTO ACUPUNCTURE
The Director of Medical and Health Services, Dr. the Hon.
Gerald Choa, said today he would be communicating with the heads of
clinical units in government hospitals to find out if they were conducting
research on acupuncture.
He was replying in the legislative Council to the Hon. Hilton
Cheong-Leen who had asked, since acupuncture had been practised in
Hong Kong for some time, what kind of, and how much, research had been
or would be carried out by the government on that subject.
Dr. Choa said: "I am afraid I cannot answer this question now
because I did not have sufficient time to communicate with all heads of
the clinical units in government hospitals.
"As soon as information regarding what research, if any, they are
carrying out, or will be carrying out, on acupuncture is available, I
shall give the honourable member a written reply.
